Cornwall tips into the Sea

I am amazed that Cornwall didn't tip into the sea yesterday. It would have been a good day for burglars because everyone, and I mean everyone, was right here on Polzeath Beach! It was absolutely rammed! The sun was out, the surf was a gentle couple of feet - just a very good surf beach day!

Here's Fin taking the drop on the quarterpipe on his scooter. What's the hardest thing about scooting? Telling your parents your gay! It's a skater joke! Scooting is massive now - I'm not a big fan much preferring the traditional four wheels and plank, but I can see the attraction. Its' fast track to getting around the ramps. Fin loves it, he's seven - he'll learn!

As for me and the kids - well it is kind of nice to be able to get away once in a while - and on a busy day it's great to be able to drive off knowing that the business is in really good hands. Wailin and Mikey managing the beach operation, Kit in the office and Tom in the shop.

So we headed up to Creation Fest on the Royal Show Ground where they had a big skate ramp set up. This a Christian festival where they have various marquees for sermons, bible reading etc - which is not our scene at all, we were there just for the skating... but each to their own. Everyone was pretty cool.

Here's Billyman doing some trick or other. Bill's so passionate about skating - he loves it. He finds it really frustrating with all the scooters around. With skating you learn to wait your turn - you do that because it's dangerous otherwise. Scooterers don't seem to follow the same rules and just go when they're ready. Bad!
