 Went to see Mount St. Michael today.... It was really fun we walked out there but couldn't walk back because the water came up and covered the path way. At the castle we had breakfast, I had a cream tea for breakfast which is a scone clotted cream and strawberry jam. It was delicious.

 In the castle we had a children's quiz to do. We had to find lots of things out there were some really cool old pictures and things. The views were amazing.

After the castle we went to the tin mine at Geevor. It was real creepy inside. We went into the original mine and saw where they ate and how they took the tin out. It was amazing. We then drove to Mevagissey Cornwall which is a little fishing village, had a drink then drove back to Newquay anne played one game of table tennis and went to bed.

When we woke up this morning Uncle A and Charmaine arrived they came early enough to wake us up.  It's really nice to be all together. We went for a walk down the beach and went rock climbing. Following that we went and booked a surf lesson for Ashley, Mom, Uncle A and me. I had a great time I stood up easily so did Ashley.  Mom and Uncle A were laughing a lot..... They had a hard time standing. Granddad and Charmaine took all the Pics so we will have some soon when they share them with us!!! By Max x

As you can see by my bottom I fell in the sand Max pushed me.... We have been having a good laugh. After surfing today Uncle A played table tennis with us there is also a pool table in our hotel. 

We went out for dinner to a place called Bowgie. The food was really nice I also had a lovely pudding.

Today Mommy and Granddad took it in turns to drive us to Cornwall.  We stopped off the M5 at junction 25 for lunch at a really nice pub on the way. I can't remember what it was called but we sat and played sevens then headed on our way again. When we arrived we took a walk around and looked into buying some surfing lessons. I think Uncle A and Charmaine are coming down tomorrow too. 

As you can see these seagulls are huge. I don't know what type they are but they are loud.

We went out for dinner at a pub where there were some funny dressed people there was a wedding and they were all wearing Gordon tartan kilts. Some of the women had some funny clothes. We were at a place called St. Christophers pub with a nice view of the next bay up from Newquay.

Today we went over to Granddad's field. We love to go on the tractor and mow the field for him.  After mowing the field we went for a walk around and went down the stream to the boggy area, towards the boundary and the river. The water was cold but the river was easy to walk in. There are some weeping willow trees and new roots on them. I wish we could go over the field every day.

I mowed some of the field for Granddad today afterwards I climbed about 20ft up the 40-50ft tree. I love it.... There were some horses in the next field they are so pretty.
Later we went back to granddad's house had dinner and played cards all night.
