The Start of the Summer Holidays

Standard

Our summer holidays started a week before school ended for my dh when we went down to Dartmouth in Devon.

It was somewhat fraught with disasters like the key not fitting when we arrived, the car headlights being left on overnight, getting lost and ending up on a ferry and rotten weather.  However, there were lovely moments too, paddling in the sea and seeing everyone have so much fun beating the waves, paddling in the rain, building sand castles, crabbing, seeing otters, playing cricket, seeing the bluest water….all in all a good trip-shame the weather was so sunny the week we came back though!

Finding Blackpool sands when we got there…

A trip to Paington, the amusements are essential to Ot’s holiday experience, then back across the ferry!

A trip to an otter sanctuary in Buckfastleigh, enjoyed by all.  Ben just found them so hysterical!
