Wimbledon has started.

Monday, June 25th, 2007

A soggy day, lots of roads flooded driveing through the water is fun.

Have started quilting a cot quilt for someone at work, using the Eas Star block pattern, I have on the pattern page. I like it because the points do not meet a seam. Each side of the star is slightly different. But is very effective.

I will have a photo of the quilt when it is finished.

Our family hoilday this year wa to cornwall. A parkdean Holiday park, with about 100 caravans on. A very nice site with a small indoor swimming pool, places to eat, a shop and indoor playing places for kids. there was crazy gold, a small golf course abd bowling green. The coastal path went along the cliff, you can walk down to the beach.

We had a poltesco caravan with a good veiw of the sea. The fog rolled in very quickly the first night.

The first day we went to the Lizzard, the most southerly point in England. walked along the coastal path. The walk down from the village to the point was covered in daisys.

Wet Feet. No! Only because he lifted his feet up.

I kept my feet dry.I'm keeping dry.

Went to Penzance before going back to the caravan. Walked around town and harbour.

Had fish and chips at Porth Leven.

Another day out went to St Ives parked on the harbourSt Ives. this is taken from the other beach past the shops. Nice Place we walkd some of the way over the path to the next beach, but it was very hilly.

On the last day we went to St Anthony’s head in the rain the only day it rained. Down some long narrow roads. then we went to Charlestown which has a maritime centre.Charlestown. Had cream tea in a cafe / B&B.
