Emily's 6th. birthday [going on 12]. She had a good day; went to an indoor play centre, followed by a birthday tea. Going to the cinema with two friends at the weekend.

How to concentrate, when everyone else is talking.

Leave me alone - I want to read my book !

'Duke' is just about full grown - 28" at the shoulder and 40" from nose to bottom. Didn't measure his tale.

We did have a good day at Church Cove. The sun was hot, but the wind was a bit strong.

OK, we're on the beach. The kids are playing. What are we going to do now?

Beth on her sand 'cat'.

ONE of the better weather days at Porthleven

Some young ladies are just not refined enough !!

A wide circle of friends - Trudy No Mates!!

This sand is cold.

Go on Aaron - let Daddy cover you right over !!

When it was time to go home, Emily was reluctant to leave. Even Duke was offering to give a hand.

This giraffe has a birth defect - can you spot it?

Meerkats united !!

We had a day out at Costwold Wildlife Park. As you can see - it rained!!
