We had a lovely few days in Guernsey for Colin’s 60th birthday. The weather was great and we spent a couple of days at the beach. Jake loved charging around the beach collecting water in his crab bucket and throwing stones in the water.
Tom, Ads, Colin and John manfully braved the (to me) icy water. I was paddling around in the shallows when Adam tried to heave me in. I ran off but knew that it would happen sooner or later, so I took a deep breath and charged in. Upon entering the sea I felt my nether regions suddenly shrink to miniscule proportions. Good job I’ve done my bit on the procreation front ;-).
For Jake the holiday was marked by almost the constant use of the radish, something we need to sort out upon our return. He would wake at 6.30am because there wasn’t a curtain on the window behind his bed. When this happened I would get up and watch ‘Happy Feet’ or as Jake puts it “The one with the egg”.
On the beach he met a little friend called Genevieve, an older woman at 4 years old :-).
So why am I missing the boy? Well, Ames and I came home yesterday to crack on with decorating his new room. Jake has stayed with the rest of the party for the rest of the week.
