366 Project - Week 14

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WEATHER!!!

It has certainly been a sharp contrast this week.  There we were last week, leaving our coats at home, playing in the park in the lovely sunshine and then lo and behold, the school holidays start and the weather takes a dramatic turn for the worse!

Sunday saw us making a brief stop over in South Wales again and we went for a lovely morning on the beach, playing football, building sandcastles and stopping for the compulsory ice cream.  This is A and her daddy enjoying the sunshine.

Monday and we travelled down to Perranporth in Cornwall for our short holiday.  It took six hours which seemed like a very long journey with two bickering boys and a stroppy toddler in the back.  We arrived at the Haven site and A made herself at the play area.

 

Tuesday morning we woke to relatively blue skies and we took an early morning stroll to the beach by the site and the views were breathtaking.  The boys made me laugh as they ran excitedly down the hill, which was really steep.  They got to the bottom, looked up and started moaning.  This was them staggering back up.

Wednesday morning was very chilly.  Rain, wind and moody skies greeted us when we went out.  We drove to Newquay and drove around, looked at the sea (from the car) and then went back.  It was just too miserable to do anything else.  This is the very beautiful Fistral Bay which was taken from the car.

It is the first time that we have stayed in a Haven holiday resort and I was quite impressed.  The boys loved getting involved with the different activities, especially the ones in the pool.  This was R doing 'Aquajets' which basically involved him whizzing around the pool with a little motorised jet.  He absolutely loved it.

I did have to cheat ever so slightly with Friday's photo as I took this late Thursday night.  We decided to drive home through the night as it was so cold and it meant that the children would all sleep.  So we stayed for the evening's entertainment and A was so exhausted, she collapsed in her pushchair and this was her just before I put her into the car to go home.  Any photos taken on Friday would have been very dull anyway and would have probably been of piles of washing and ironing or the boys looking exhausted in their pyjamas.

A had a little box of Mini Eggs today and was fascinated by them.  She spent ages playing with them before she ate them, but she wouldn't share!

My favourite for this week, I rather like today's shot of A with her mini eggs but my favourite is the moody, rainy day in Newquay that I took on Wednesday.

Come back next week and have a look at what we've been up to and if you want to see some more 366 projects, pop over to see The Boy and Me's linky for lots more inspiring photos.
