Happy Birthday to Jill!

A couple more pictures of my lovely long weekend in Canada!

Surprise!!!

Happy 40th birthday Jill! After months of planning and concocting stories about an infestation of ants in the garage, this is what greeted Jill after returning from a morning of de-stressing at the spa on Saturday.

Holiday Diaries: Friday

Sadly the last morning of the holiday, but not a moment was wasted. After a final farewell to the cottage, our intrepid explorers made one last assault on Corfe Castle. The castle was well and truly conquered, and the exhausted adventurers journeyed home, dreaming of kings, knights, princesses, treachery, and casting the enemy into dark dungeons.

Holiday Diaries: Thursday

The rock pooling at Lulworth Cove is fab. Caught three crabs, a sea anemone and a multitude of shrimp. All returned to the sea after close examination by four little (and four rather bigger) children. Back to Corfe Castle after lunch for a spot of sword fighting, and the obligatory cream tea at the number one tea shop in the country (according to Country Living magazine), and a perilous journey across the river back to the car.

Holiday Diaries: Wednesday

Hot hot hot. Who needs to holiday abroad when this is the kind of weather the English seaside can offer? Spent all day at the beach, in and out of the sea, making Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the sand, playing frisbee and eating ice cream. Bliss.

Holiday Diaries: Tuesday

Down to Kimmeridge to test out our new fishing nets. What a glorious day. The water was crystal clear and very still. We wandered out onto the natural jetty wishing we had snorkeling gear, and and when the tide began to come in we headed off to Knoll beach for some sand castle action.
