Tuesday
I had my television appearance confirmed by one of the Mums in the playground after school, her two sons had shrieked that Ellis was on the telly, doing a dance, in my dressing gown. So it was on, but it was in the morning, not the afternoon......what a shame we missed it.

Well, the last bit of afterschool netball was certainly a soggy affair, with a pretty hefty downpour forcing us indoors to sit it out until collection time.
I nearly mananaged to get a new leotard for gymnastics, but as usual Dad didn't have any money on him. The new ones are really cool, and really red!
Wednesday
We did Go Givers again, involving a visit from the year two's.
Indeed we did, we got to go to Ned's class too. Not sure Ned was too pleased to have me there, but neither was Ali after I twisted his arm right round during a bit of a wrestle!
I had my last swimming lesson (for now anyway), fun week, mats, dive sticks, water polo with Matice. All great fun but it'll be nice to have a break from it I think.
Loom bands.
Yeah, Loom Bands!
We are all over these, twisting them away at any oppurtunity.
We do them at home...
At breakfast club....
In the car......
While Ellis is swimming......

Thursday
One of the ladies at Mum's work had been saving the Lego from the newspaper last week, Mum let us have it all today.
We had a lovely time before school building it all.
Then after school we got well and truly into our World Cup Sticker albums, much to Dad's disgust....

Friday
The last day of term was upon us.
An we are still not in our new classroom. Progress does look good though, I reckon it'll be done soon.
Better hurry up, we've only got another half term left before we're done for the year.
Obviously with summer on the way, the weather is great, leading to cricket club being cancelled.
In addition to that, I had to miss the end of term school disco as well!
It was for a good reason though Ned, we were off to Cornwall.

Yeah, we hadn't been for ages, well, about five weeks anyway.
We had to stop earlier than our usual Exeter visit, due to the onset of hunger.
We did, the Burger King was up to it's usual standards, slow service and expensive.
But the Costa's was a disaster, no toasted sandwiches! I had to make do with a M&S salad and a lump of cheese.
On the way back to the car we saw a little tiny dog, about the size of a guinea pig have a wee while half way accross the road.
What was remarkable though was the amount of wee that came out of such a small creature, there was litres and litres of it!

What with it being a bank holiday weekend and half term the traffic was a little bit on the heavy side so we were pretty late to the caravan.
Saturday
We had just about enough provisions to eek out a breakfast after a nice lie in.
And then we had a trip out to Tesco in Wadebridge for our 'Click and Collect' food order.
Yeah, with deliveries now being banned on the campsite we thought we'd give it a go.
It worked out very well too!

It was a lovely sunny morning, we helped Dad cut the grass around the caravan which we loved.
The Shepherds were all there too, including Connie the dog, who at a year old now was much bigger than last time we saw her.
She's lovely and enjoyed being made a fuss of.

We spent the rest of the day hanging about riding our scooters and my roller skates.
Before watching Britains Got Talent in the evening.
Sunday
After mum's wetsuit got ruined in California she's been looking for a replacement.
She tried four on last time we were down in Cornwall but didn't really like any of them.
She pinned all her hopes on a trip to Polzeath.
She found one she liked, tried it on and bought it. How easy!
I also managed to snag a new pair of Crocs and got a free mini-croc-man ornalent thingy as well, he was well cool.
We had a walk accross the beach to the waters edge.
In the afternoon we went out with the Shepherds and Connie.
Firstly it was down the beach, we payed some cricket, played with the dog.
Fished the rock pools, did some climbing.
Then it was up to the swimming pool for a dip, it was pretty cold in there.
But Mum seemed to be enjoying her new wetsuit.
I jumped off the rock after a little bit of 'coaching' too, which impressed the onlookers.
We walked down to Constantine Bay, throwing a tennis ball for the dogs amusement.
She could run seriously fast when the ball needed fetching.
Monday
The weather wasn't quite so good today.
In fact it was pretty miserable out.
We made the best of it though with a few games of cards in the caravan.
And another walk with Connie. She still loved fetching her ball.
She wasn't quite so keen on fetching it from the sea initially though but After a few paddles to collect the ball, I got a bit enthusiastic and
launched it a looooong way out. Connie had a good look at it, skipped
out over the waves as far as she could go before taking the plunge and
breaking into a full on doggie paddle. Amy was delighted.
We sat on the rocks and threw a few catalogue poses and tried to find some suitable sized rocks for Sarah to practice for her forthcoming shot put competition.
We even had a barbecue with them for lunch which was really lovely.
Indeed it was, jacket potatoes with cheese and delicious homemade cakes too, why aren't all barbecues this good? Thanks for having us over.
Tuesday
The weather was back to it's Cornish best again, it was a beautifully sunny day.
We headed to the Go kart track straight after breakfast, we were pretty much the first ones there.
How exciting, especially now i'm an old hand at it.
We couldn't wait to get out on the track.
Neither could the last of the junior's in line that rammed his cart into the back of us as we all waited to go out on the track.
I even got a jolt right at the front of the queue!
We were soon out on track though, it was brilliant.
I absolutely floored it and even managed to overtake a couple of grown ups in their more powerful karts.
Dad and I just managed to sneak past the marshall as he hung the chequered flag out so we got ourselves a whole extra lap alone on the track.
We made our way back via the bakery to pick up lunch.
We took a leisurely lunch outside the caravan on the blanket, lovely, this is the lufe as Mum would say.
After we had refuelled we headed down the beach.
It was glorious.
A good spell of digging, climbing and swimming in the sea.
We also bumped into our next door neighbours, who were staying in the camping field in their motorhome, apparently they are pretty regular visitors to Treyarnon too!
The highlight of the afternoon for me was the sport of course. Firstly our extreme boule championship, across the rocks and what have you and then some kingball. Brilliant.
We had our tea enjoying the evening sunshine:
And then Round to Constantine
Wednesday
Like the go karting, we got our annual trip to Bedruthan steps in early this year.
We really do like exploring down there, spot the Ned:
Followed by tea at the Youth Hostel before setting off for home.
Hopefully we'll be back again soon......

Thursday
Despite our late night we were up early for a day with Auntie christine.
We started the day at the Marks and Spencer cafe.
For a delicious breakfast, the bacon bap nowcked the spots off Costa's too, three reashers of bacon rather than just the one.
After that it was off to Four Kingdoms farm park place. Brilliant!
All the playgorunds and the cars and the bouncy slides were fantastic of course.
But the real highlight had to be the lamb feeding.
Oh it was lovely, the greedy little beasts couldn't get enough of their milk bottles that we were holding.
There may have been a little face painting too:
Friday
So after Laura made a rash comment about looking after us a few weeks ago, she had to go through with it.
We were very excitied to spend the day with Darcey and couldn't wait.
We went to see a circus up at Millets farm, so we got to have a decent ride in Laura's monster truck too!
It was great fun, and we certainly enjoyed the show.
The real highlight for me though came when we got back to Darceys house and Laura said we could have our nails painted and that we could choose the colour we wanted from her collection. It was unbelievable, there were so many colours to choose from, how fantastic. She made a really good job of it for us too, not the blobby mess Mum and Dad usually manage.

Saturday
For Alan's recent birthday, we got him tickets to go to a Board Games show up in Birmingham.
To tell the truth, Dad and I (and I suspect Hayley) were a little dubious about the whole affair.
Whereas Mum and I were beside ourselves with excitment.
We went to pick Alan up and all went up in our car, with Ned and I taking the two back seats...cool.
The journey was good fun, we got to have a proper good chat and a laugh with Alan and Hayley on the way.
After driving around several hundred roundabouts at the NEC we finally found where we supposed to be and parked up.
Their was a bus trip to the venue, a Hotel, which was pretty good fun.
Especially as Mum kept pressing the 'STOP' button on the bus with her shoulder unknowingly. She found this hilarious.
When we entered we got handed a lanyard to wear, I thought this was pretty cool actually.
And after a bit of milling about we found the Family Games room.
It was awesome, there was a massive Ticket To Ride Game which I was seriously impressed with.
Best of all, you could play any of the games, there were hundreds on offer:
So it wasn't quite as bad as i'd feared after all. In fact, it was pretty good fun. Especially with the treasure hunt (for posters scattered around the venue, each giving you a letter to solve a mystery) as well, the prize being a cool glow in the dark wristband, we do love a wristband.
Team that up with cool chain mail and armour to wear and we were well on to a winner here:
It has to be said though, the attendees were mainly of the male variety, and some of them may have been just a little bit on the geeky side.
So it was a good job us ladies were on hand to provide a little bit of glamour, and we do love a game of Dobble:
In another of the rooms there were loads of games being played, I spotted a spare seat at a game of Ticket to Ride that was just about to start......and joined in! Four grown ups to take on, complete strangers:
I had a brilliant time, couldn't quite pull off the win in the end but it was great fun.
Dad and I found a quiet corner while he was playing and had a few chapers from my Wishing Chair book.
We spent the whole day there, finishing off with another visit to the family games room where we managed to snag the Massive Ticket to Ride for a game.
That Mum played at the same time as playing me at a load of other games on an adjacent table. True multi-tasking! Thanks Mum.
We didn'ty get home until pretty late.....
Sunday
.....Meaning I didn't get up in time for the planned Sunday morning bike ride.
Never mind, we all had a bit of a lay in which was nice.
I sneaked off to Tesco with Mum to do some secret Ellis birthday related business....
And then I settled down for some quality time with the telly.

While I helped Mum and Dad in a spot of car washing. It was filthy, I don't think it had been done since last August.
We spent the afternoon doing various bits of home work, exciting huh?
Before I esscaped off out with the boys for a bit down the park.
And Mum and Dad took me up to the Wash Common park for a play:

We moved in to our brand new classroom today, how very exciting. It's really lovely in there and will be nice to spend the next term in the luxury it provides after our time crammed into the room by the hall.
It was also my last day of being six......
