We set our alarm for 7am with the idea to leave at 8am. Jonah and Grace bounded in at 7:15am and we were up! The last few bits were packed into the car, the fuel was bought and we were off from the Midlands at about 8:30am. 2 stops (one for a picnic lunch) and we arrived in Perranporth 6 hours later. Grace had fallen asleep with 5 minutes to arrival and we were all exhausted. BUT……we could see the sea!!
We had checked in to the caravan and got everything unpacked into the different rooms by 3:15pm and so decided to drive to the town as the weather was lovely. We sat on the beach, played cricket, explored the little river and pools and eventually needed tea. Grace was ridiculously hangry and it was getting cooler. The most delicious fish and chips later and everyone was feeling much happier.
After a little drive into Newquay and collecting the shopping, we went back to the caravan, all had showers and the children went to bed. Grace only got up once and then it happened. The thing which would define the holiday and live with me forever. I was trying to open the superglue to stop my car key pinging apart and I had a disaster. It went everywhere! My finger we’re stuck together, I’d got it on my trousers and top, my phone and up my arm.
Did you know that butter helps get superglue off? I sat for hours rubbing butter on my fingers and phone and most of it came off! After another hour with warm, soapy water and most of it has come off. I’m amazed! My phone is still a mess but my skin is sorted. The trousers and top are in the bin but it’s a small price to pay!!!
Day 2 with hopefully less drama coming soon.
