Holiday in St Ives - Part II

This morning we woke up to dull, damp and windy weather. We started the day by walking down to the beach and then along the coast in the opposite direction to the first day. This took us away from St Ives and gave us some good views back to the town.

It was a rather wet and windy day so we all had to wrap up well to keep us nice and warm.

Joel didn’t seem to mind the rain – in fact he quite enjoyed it – singing to himself as we walked the cliffs.

After a while Ang and Joel turned back to St Ives leaving me to enjoy the peace and quiet of the waves crashing and the wind blowing!

This afternoon we went to the local leisure centre and I went swimming with Joel for the first time! He has been having lessons for the past few months and I finally was able to see all the skills he had learnt. He showed me how he could kick and chase after toys as well as go under water for a few seconds – what a talented little man!

The rest of the day we spent lazing around the house before heading into St Ives for some traditional fish and chips. Walking back to the house we had to be aware of the seagulls as yesterday we saw them snatch food out of people’s hands ... we made it home safe and sound.
