then we had fabulous fish and chips from smugglers chip shop

went to the beach for climbing on the rocks and combing then went for a poodle round the village

had honeycomb hash icecream at surf shack and sweeties from cheeky monkeys

2 amazing beef steaks from the butchers, 2 luscious peaches from the grocers and some antihistamines for mummy from the chemist (please don't discontinue periactin, it's the only one that works on me!)

then back to the beach for more pratting about then another poodle to the village green and the duck pond

then back to the beach for rockpooling and watching the sun go down

finally got home at 8pm...steak and chips and chocolate profiteroles for dinner then soothing showers after our long day out

truly smashing excursion
