For my birthday we went to the Westin for Sunday brunch. A genuine smaugasboard of lush grub and free flowing champagne it was lovely.



After brunch we spent a few hours relaxing on the beach, the sea was a bit rough but we had a swim anyway.
On Thursday we saw Roger and Sally off, it was a lovely couple of weeks and I think they enjoyed themselves.
All in all it has been a busy week and a half since half term, work has been hectic so come the weekend it was nice to unwind. The Castaways gathered on the beach under the stars with a few candles and loads of booze and laughed Bonfire Night away.
A few of us arrived early for some snorkelling. Just off Spotts is a large area of sea grass and where there is sea grass there is a good chance of swimming with sea turtles. We were in luck and spotted two each about three to four feet long, as calm as you like. We got really close to them, absolutely beautiful and a great start to the evening.
We also spotted a couple of lobsters, I kid you not they were huge as big as my flipper easily two foot long!
Just lovely a really low key event we had the beach to ourselves and the sky provided the fireworks in the form of shooting stars!
We ordered pizza and the delivery driver turned up on the beach with the boxes, he did not question the address when we said we wanted 8 pizzas delivered to Spots Beach he just said ok and 20 minutes later he arrived on his moped!
In my spare time I have been furiously studying the online theory for my PADI Certification I am determined to complete the course and assessment and qualify by Christmas so that when Caz and Pete come out we can have a dive. (Chloe your dive will be all booked up for when you visit, you will love it!).
This weekend is a bank holiday weekend and the start of Pirates Week! Click here for more.
