Cornwall
We went to the beach and then up to a watermill. There were a lot of cogs and wheels turning round. Then we had ice-cream in a cafe under the trees next to the pond which powers the watermill. While dad waited in the car mum and I climbed up to a big tree and over a stile. There was a lot of really soft, dry, cushiony moss and we were in a small wood. It was beautiful.
On the beaches that we went to the water was very blue but so cold it was hard to swim in it when the sun was behind a cloud. There were lots of rocks with the most beautiful, warm rockpools. On busy beaches if you went up some steps you ccould get Cornish ice-cream but we often went to a hidden away beach so if you wanted ice-cream you had to go to Portscatho which was a walk along the coastal path along the cliff.
We were renting a house and there were three houses in a courtyard. In one of the houses was a family who live there. There were two children in that house and their granny lived up on top of the courtyard on a sort of hill and almost every evening I used to go and find them. Because both of their gardens were big and private and we used to go and play on their trampoline.
