we decided to brave the elements and head off to Cornwall for a long weekend to see our great friends Frank and kate - we would go more often but the thought of the long drive is really off putting with a near 3 year old! so we set off at 6 30 pm and Nelly plugged herself into the DVD - watched Pooh Bear's big adventure for a while, chomped on sandwiches and bsicuits and then fell asleep at about 8 15! It was long even for us and as we came off the M5 at exeter we stoppped for more provisions and coffee to keep us going and I got into the wrong car in the service station car park! we laughed hysterically for about half an hour !it passed the time - finally arriving in Penzance at about 10 50pm....
Nelly, as I think I have said before is from South China and the town where she spent the first year of her life is right on the coast; everytime I see her at the sea I feel her amazing affinity for the place...she runs to the sea whatever the weather shouting BEACH.... we bought a bucket and spade in a shop in Sennen in November - ( the shopkeeper thought it was his lucky day! )
We spent a good couple of hours in total on four different beaches over the weekend!
