Friday
Well we committed to going camping for the weekend, and because Ned is fanatical about the stand up surf board stashed under Andy's caravan we passed up on our usual Croyde and went all the way to Treyarnon instead.
The traffic was a little sticky, we enjoyed listening to Spain play Portugal in the world cup on the way down and we made the best of it:
We arrived while it was still daylight and pitched up being sure to situate ourselves to take in a lovely sea view. I got stuck in setting up while Ned hid in the car....turns out he was fully asleep! He was actually a bit under the weather (not hayfever as we all thought) so we can give him the benefit of the doubt I think. We were all set up well within an hour, so it was toothbrushing and toilets and then bed:
I woke up on a flat airbed. Not ideal but I wasnt bothered and found it all rather amusing.
We took breakfast outside in the sunshine:
The sunshine didn't last for much longer, it all went a bit grey and wet but we didnt really care. We walked around the loop stopping by at Gary's to pick up some rainbow coloured candy floss:
We had a kick about when we got back to camp, it was great fun, Ned didnt even get all competitive and nasty either. I stubbed my toe and had to be carried off the pitch:
We went back to Treyarnon once they had got out of the sea (Ned took a lot of persuading to get out) and after a pit stop at Barnecutts in St Merryn for lunch and a little slouch about we all went in the sea at Treyarnon. It was brilliant fun. I got massivley turned over by a massive wave which I didnt really enjoy all that much at tye time, but its a great story now and I did get stuck straight back in.
We dried off, played Sushi Go and marvelled at just how close to our tent our new 'neighbours' had pitched up despite the field being largely empty.
Fish and chips for tea followed, with the hope that the airbed would last the night once re-inflated.
Sunday
It didn't. I woke up on the floor again but shuffled onto Mum and Dad's much more comfortable, fully inflated airbed for a continued snuggle time until we got up.
It was pretty wet and windy out, so we didn't rush out:
We did eventually decide to move, and went to Annes Cottage to try and spend some money but I didn't really like anything.
We had lunch and then everyone went in the sea, I didn't fancy it so went to Gary's shop for aweets instead. Mum came back soon enough as she didnt like it much so we had a lovely hot shower and spruce up.
Eventually we had to pack up and head for hime which was a shame, I love being inthe tent or out in the field and Ned was on great form which made a lovely change.
Monday
So the world cup is in full swing, better fire up the barbecue for the first England game. We ha d alot round too which was nice, including the Aunties!
