Day 3 Phils 40th Birthday bash

After having another hearty breakfast cooked by Ruth, (always handy having an excellent cook as the host, infact I would have to say that  Ruth's meals are some of the best meals that I have had in my lifetime, mind you I have only ever been to Little Chefs before, No sorry Ruth just a joke!!, you will always be known as the masterchef of the family) anyway where was I ?, oh yes hearty breakfast, then pack stuff and drive off to the edge of Exmoor National park, where Phil was having his 40th birthday camping bash. The campsite was set down in the bottom of a valley, sitting alongside a river, absolutely breathtaking, thats deffinatly one of the places that I want to go back to when we have our van!!

Play time at the edge.

He looks such a gentle chap, you wouldn't have thought that one man could do so much damage to a rented campervan!!

Day 2

After going to bed at about 2am, we were all up and reasonably bright and quite early. After a hearty breakfast cooked by our masterchef Ruth. Mr Poo, Ruth and I (Dee had to work) went of in the beloved campervan to Minack Theatre.

From 1931 until she died in 1983 the Minack Theatre was planned, built and financed by one determined woman- Rowena cade, for more information go to www.minack.com/dayvisitors/history

The shock wave.

Glorious Beach

The dream

Friendly little chap, liked flapjack.

Obviously I couldn't go to the beach without taking the odd one or two candid shots.

A great afternoon was had by all.

Day 1 in Cornwall

Just returned from a great weekend in Cornwall where my brother and sister-in-law have just moved to, after a long drive it was time to stretch our legs and go for a walk.

Messing around with the flash again!!!

The mouse incident!!

For those of you that didn't take part in the Mouse Incident here is a brief explanation.

Deryk, Ruth and Mr Poo were sat onto of the wall of an old ruin, myself obviously glued to my camera, trying out all manor of settings. As we started to leave we realised that Scruff the dog had vanished, me thinking the worst, thinks he has fallen off the wall and asks Mr poo to have a look round the bottom of the wall, just incase he is lying unconcious.  Deryk and Ruth  are now shouting quite loudly and we are all starting to get into a little bit of a panic mode. After deciding that one of us should go back to the house, Scruff re-apears with a mouse in his mouth. Mrs Poo the second is not very happy about this and promptly starts to run and shout (maybe more of a scream) "Drop it" " Let go" and "Scruff Scruff" could be heard many times.
