Happy Birthday!



Look at those sleepy smiling faces! Just woken up in a tent on the top of a cliff in Cornwall. About to open a pile of presents each that were somehow squeezed into car and trailer. And the sun was shining!
As displaced children of Cornwall (how dare their parents move them to Northamptonshire to make a living!) there was no place else they would rather be. As newborn babies their first trips were to the beach swaddled in blankets and tucked into slings and they still love to ask "which was the first beach I ever went to?" or "where did I first see the sea?"!!!


This was the view yesterday morning! Four surfers in the water at about 6am, glorious sunshine and the tide as far out as it can go.



Others were less inclined to rise at such an early hour! And sunny skies make for a colder start to the day. But birthday croissants and hot chocolate were consumed and squeals of delight heard across the campsite as gifts were unwrapped. Before one last trip to the beach was made, this time in beautiful sunshine, with gentle rolling waves and happy faces.
