Haines: September 2008

Photos!

On telly on southwest news! Look closely!

Turned a different corn(wall)-er...

Had a lovely time in Cornwall. We were lucky with the weather and spent most of the week on Porthminster beach. Had a few nice lunches at the Cafe and historic burgers (thank you Blas) in the evening. Met up with the Vartys a few times, Joe and Max had lots of fun together with the animals at Paradise Park and played on the beach. Joe and I stroked Houdini the penguin which was probably our highlight of the week! Simon, Keith and the boys were on the local evening news in a report on Americans coming to Cornwall, Simon's highlight of the week! The journey wasn't too bad but it looks as if Joe is going to suffer from travel sickness, poor thing. Good job the car was valeted today, it was a bit whiffy! Painting and tiling took place while we were away, one went better than the others, lets say no more than that. Sylvie started her settling in week at nursery today - teary as expected but hey ho! As usual not organised enough to have photos downloaded but will try to do it this week.

Leaving on a jet plane

We met Mr Mackie at Terminal 1 yesterday en route from a cousin's wedding in Plymouth to Iceland! Unfortunately there are no windows there so Joe didn't get to see too many planes but it was nice to have a catch up and with no alcohol involved! We'll have to meet him in Singapore airport next time though.
We all went to meet Mr Oscar Magee yesterday too (was a busy day). He's a gorgeous little fella, very long, but generally behaving himself. Of course, true to form, we forgot the camera so have no photos of him. Hopefully some will follow soon. Mum and Dad still looking a bit shocked but they seem to be settling in nicely.
Counting down to Cornwall now, this week will be a bit hectic, with packing, buying paint (Vince is coming to paint the place while we're away) and trying to understand Joe's secret language!
