Our first visitors arrived this week to spend half term with us and despite the utterly relentless rain we have had a good time! The rain has been torrential at times but we have managed to snatch time out between down pours.

Roger and Sally arrived bang on time at 3:55pm on Monday.

A tour of the island and lunch at Rum Point. Mud Sldes are lovely!

We had a visit to Starfish Point. We saw 105 Starfish the most we have seen in one visit.

On the way back we came round past Eastend and stopped to see the sights, including a garden full of concrete creatures and the Blow Holes. (James is wearing his skateboard knee pads, his knees are currently shredded from falling off a couple of times…).

The National Gallery proved a welcome distraction from the rain.

Ching Chings at Smith’s Cove.

Landing fish at Smith’s Cove.

These tide in nicely with James’s art homework, he took some lovely photos in Soth Sound and the. Had to interpret them in different mediums. 

We had a lovely meal out at Casanova’s Italian…though note to self they include the service charge so don’t tip as well!

It is all quite exhausting really and despite her protestations to the contry she is still our baby…
