My Happy Place

Me, my girls, their boys and the dads planned a trip to Newquay for 5 days staying in our favourite apartment overlooking Fistral Beach.

I decided to fly as there wasn't really enough room in their cars and DN2s partners driving is awful!!! DN1 then decided to fly with me with her boys. Their 1st time on a plane. Her husband left at 5.45am with the aim of meeting us at Newquay airport with the babyseats but just 10 minutes into the journey he had a car accident where someone didn't stop at a road junction and pulled out in front of him writing off the car. Thank fully Spencer was ok - just a bit of whiplash and soreness where he tensed up. Sadly the other driver decided to do a runner as soon as he saw the damage to the car. Police where called but they said it was unlikely that they would find him. 

DN1 decided we would still go down as planned and caught our 9.30am flight while SB arranged a courtesy car and unloaded all the holiday paraphernalia into it. He was back on the road by 1030 bless him. 

The boys were absolutely great on the flight. Matty sat saying "wow" as he looked out the window and Baby Mylo fell asleep on my lap for the 2nd half of the journey.

We arrived at Newquay airport on time and decided to just try and catch a bus into town. DN1 got confused with Newquay town itself and got us off the bus half a mile too soon but it was fine to walk the rest of the way - except for not yet applying suncream!!!

The weather was glorious and we headed straight down to the beach where Spencer joined us at around 4 and DN2, Jasper and Josh arrived around half an hour later.

Sam also joined us on the beach and we had dinner in Boardmasters Beach Bar before heading up to our apartment for unpacking, bath and bed!!!

What an eventful day but happy to be back in our happy place.

Meanwhile, After dropping us at the airport, Mr W took Lady Linda up to Kendal for the 5 days we are away. We are 7½ hours driving time apart now!!
