While we were there we went on a sunny coastal walk round Dinas Head
hung out in the gardens of Picton Castle
and found a frog in a tree
We also played many games of dominoes, splashed about in rock pools and ate some scrumptious seafood.

Wales
Last week we went to stay in Wales with Luke's friend Mattie and his Mum Sarah. They have a family cottage in southwest Wales near a village called Crymych. I'll let Luke show you the cottage:

Cornwall
We spent a week at a cottage in Cornwall with a couple of our friends. The cottage had a great meadow where we could play. The local wildlife liked it too.
We couldn't believe the giant rhubarb - this was just growing in someone's front garden:
We were half an hour's walk from a great little beach called Maenporth. The water was a wee bit cold but that didn't stop Luke from having a good time
while some of us just concentrated on looking cool.
We had a great time at the Eden Project. This is justifiably famous for its plants, but they also put on some kids' activities for the summer holidays. One of them was to build a 'den' from a selection of poles, materials, rope and other bits and bobs
and another was to use a selection of hoses, pumps and guttering to move water around - Luke's idea of heaven I think!
The weather was mostly glorious, but even when it wasn't we managed to consume our fair share of delicious Cornish ice cream
Near us was a garden called Glendurgan where they have a really cool maze. Mike won, to Luke's disappointment.
We found an utterly fabulous pub, the Ferryboat Inn at a place called Helford Passage. The pub overlooked a little beach with a jetty for the ferries, and you could sit and watch the boats cruise up the river whilst eating wonderful seafood. This was the view from our table

We liked the Lost Gardens of Heligan too, despite getting extremely lost on the way! Our mission for our next UK holiday is to find a water pump that actually works. There are a lot of these about but I don't think we've ever seen one that actually pumps, although Luke lives in hope.
