Albert had the best seat most mornings and evenings so he could watch the fishermen go out and shout come back fishermen. Adam likes watching them through his binoculars so he could see what they had caught. I think one of his holiday highlights was bbqing mackerel bought from the fish shop in the harbour for Nana and Grandad pop. We also had a friendly seagull who would tap on the window for food, a lot of people in the visitor book moaned about him waking them up in the morning but we were normally sat down for breakfast by the time that happened.
We spent a day at the Lost Gardens of Helligan (which is brilliant), with Nana and Pop we also took them for a walk around Boscastle which was lovely and Adam enjoyed reading about the flood prevention methods put in place since 2004. Albert also got given a cap by the man in the walking shop which was probably because he kept running out the shop with it and he was a nice man who took pity on us. The walk was meant to be round the coast for a bit but was a bit too scary with an erratic toddler so we walked inland after short while. I get so worried these days if we are anywhere slightly dangerous, I spent the whole 10 mins we were on the edge thinking how can I untie my sling fast enough to jump in the water after him and he isn't even a crazy baby he is quite careful!
We spent alot of time on the local beach rock pooling which was great as Albert got it for the first time, he lay in sand, turned over rocks, held crabs and poked anemones. Rowan liked being out on the beach too, he was so happy all holiday and he is so big already.
The gunk on Rowan's head is for cradle cap we aren't just really crazy with the sun cream! It's working too although it has meant he has lost most of his baby hair mohican which was dark and is growing back lots of blond in it's place.
Albert also loves Cornish pasties, I think partly because he can throw the crust bit to the birds.
It is nice to be home though especially since it is so quite in the city. No scary winds speeding through the bedrooms and excited gulls in the middle of the night, in fact on our little road there is no noise at all! We also saw Nana and Pop on the drive home on the A30 completely randomly how cool is that out of all the cars in Cornwall! We had two brilliant car journeys there and back too, mostly thanks to Mr Tumble and our borrowed DVD player which saved our sanity a couple of times, and we all learnt the signs for peacock and sitting room so, thank you Mr Tumble.
