I couldn’t decide if this should go in ‘Day 1 in Cornwall’ but it technically falls into day two so here we are. 12:15am, Jonah appears at our bedroom door saying he can’t sleep. Phil, ever sympathetic and having been woken up, told him there was nothing he could do and to go back to bed, lie down and close his eyes. In their defence , they doing normality share a room, but it gets a bit ridiculous now. He apparently tried this but Grace and Jonah appeared at our door an hour later claiming they couldn’t sleep. Phil repeated his instructions and we dozed off again. Then, at 2:10am, I lost my temper! They appeared once more claiming they couldn’t sleep because they were hungry. HUNGRY!!! They had eaten well through the day and the reason they were hungry was because they were up!! So I told them to go and lie down facing away from each other, not talk, shut their eyes and take some deep breaths. After me shouting through the caravan wall at 2:15am for them to shut up, all was quiet.
The rest of the day was fairly standard – we explored some caves, flew the kites, Phil and Jonah explored the little island at the low tide and ended up in the pub for a drink in the evening.
Day 3 was very boring! We visited a very cute museum and then tried to go swimming. The only pool in a 20 mile radius was fully booked. So we drove for 2 hours to try and find another one. Jonah was in tears as he was desperate to swim and Grace was asleep! We found parking (eventually!) and went to the beach. Jonah loved jumping through the waves and Grace was not happy we a wave knocked her onto her bottom! Back to the caravan for some tea and an early night. Bring on day 4!
