Good morning from a wonderfully rainy, cool Cornwall. My patio plants are almost grinning.
We had quite the craziest birthday celebration for my grandson yesterday on a very windy, overcast, would you believe cold and eventually rainy beach, but we persevered ignoring the inclement weather. My nephews from London, my sons and grandchildren swam for ages. We were a large crowd of family and friends, chatting away and all took our eyes off my nephew's four-year-old son who we knew wasn't near the water. It's a tiny, safe beach and he was happily digging in the sand until, observing a nearby family's fairly large barbecue with obvious flames, decided it needed dousing and poured a bucket of sea water on it!
Obviously we were all mortified. The other family were amazing and really kind about it and quickly relit their barbecue. The little boy has a problem speaking, although he's bright enough, so he couldn't tell us why he did it. Barbecues don't usually have flames rising up so we think he was trying to be a fireman. 🤔
Today I'll hop on a bus to church and then wait to hear what fun the younger generation are concocting. If it involves The Eden Project I'll pass on that. Lovely as it is I prefer it in the quieter months.
