blustery beaches and mushy waves [ - Kate]

We are camped up in another area near a blustery beach with mushy waves, and i have been sat outside reading my book, wrapped up in a blanket and jumpers and many other layers as its cold here, fighting off big orange ugly slugs who keep trying to steal my red wine! the cake baking was successful and its cooling now and it smells so lovely! the weather has been really weird, storms and rain and overcast days with spots of sunshine, you would think the years of living in wales would make us accustomed to the rain and we would greet it with smiling faces but unfortunatly it still gets to us and tries to bring us down, i think we presumed that each day the weather would be glorious and so hot that you could hardly move, a dip in the sea being the only relief, but actually the truth is at 3pm this afternoon we were on a beach and shivering even before we touched the sea!

we have had many ideas and plans since all this stormy weather, one being to sell the van and buy a big car which is fun to drive and head to sweden and the northern lights, another jump and hop around the greek islands, another see if the weather is better (and the surf) in cornwall, so many ideas and yet we are not sure.....hahahahahahhahaha, while writing this boo has just shouted that he has just put one of the big orange slugs in his mouth!! its real dark outside and he didnt see that one had sneakily climbed up the wine bottle and was cheekily waiting for him to take a swig!!!!! grosssss! think we will move the van away from the bushes tonight! have become really attached to this van and although its tiny and full of funny things its become a brilliant home for the summer, looking forward to sharing this little trip with catherine and ollie who are due to come over in about 3 weeks, cant wait!
