Well, the holiday has long since been over, and life has returned to normal for the time of year! While it seems the rest of the country were suffering heavy rains and flooding, I enjoyed a fantastic time with quite reasonable weather in Cornwall. Did the usual things like swim in the sea, walk and read, and also did some differnet things!
Went to the cinema three times; the Harry Potter film was a hit with the whole family, Shrek 3 was quite amusing, and everyone seemed to enjoy the Simpsons. Talking of Harry Potter, we also queued up at midnight outside the local bookshop, with a lot of other people, to get the new book as soon as possible. Not somehting I would normally do, but we were on holiday and there was no pressure to get up early the next day!
We finally made it to see a production at the Minack Theatre, http://www.minack.com/ . On the most blisteringly hot day of our holiday we went to the matinee performance of Fanny Burney's play "A very busy day"; really quite funny and fabulous costumes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Burney
We also went to two productions by the fabulous Kidz R Us company: "A slice of Saturday night", which was absolutely fantastic (and surprisingly we could remember what it was like to be teenagers!) and "Oliver". Kidz R Us is a fantastic organisation which encourages children to sing and act. http://www.kidzrus.net/
Coming back home and going off to work was a real shock to the system after such a good break, but, as they say, life goes on!
