today was super exciting. i got up this morning and dad made a huge batch of blueberry banana pantakes. i ate 2 huge pantakes. they were so tasty.
mom and dad did some talking. the end result was instead of going grocery shopping, we would have an adventure. i like adventures. so we all got ready for a surprise day out. mom packed a bag full of stuff. we all got dressed and climbed in the car.
dad drove the car for a long time. mom fell asleep and then i fell asleep. i woke up and mom was all- we're almost there. where? it's a surprise. finally dad parked the car and we all got out at the seaside. i love the seaside. we weren't at teignmouth though. mom said we were at a place called sennen cove, way down at the end of england in cornwall. we had a nice long walk on the beach. i walked with dad. we climbed on some rocks and looked in rock pools. mom just bumbled along behind us taking pictures. mom said we should be on the look out for basking sharks. there were no basking sharks in the rock pools. all we saw there was seaweed. it was fun though.
we stomped back towards town for lunch. there was a little beach side restaurant open so we ate there. mom ordered me a bowl of green soup, it was huge! and green. i like leak and potato soup. i ate most of the bowl, eventually. it was pretty hot so i had to wait for it to cool down. dad had a tuner samich and mom got a cream tea. since we were at the seaside mom said i could have some ice cream after lunch. dad and i shared a cup of mango sorbet. it was delicious.
we walked around a little more. the town is not very big. i saw some boats and fishing pots. we went for another walk on the beach. there were loads of rock pools to explore and jump in. i got covered in sand. mom was not impressed. when it was time to go i had to stand in the sink at the bathroom while mom tried to wash sand off of me. the water was cold.
everyone got back in the car and dad drove us down the road some more, all the way to the very end of england. mom and i jumped out of the car at this place called- land's end. dad stayed in the car while the two of us ran around taking pictures. i saw the first/last post box and the first/last house in england. mom made me stand next to a sign that said- dangerous cliffs. that made me nervous. she took my picture while i looked at a sign pointing the way to new york. i didn't see new york. after mom had enough pictures we ran back to the car. dad drove us all the way back to exeter again.
before we got home there was a stop at the big sainsbury's for our usual saturday shopping. we filled the cart full of things and then paid. late afternoon grocery shopping is not as good as early morning shopping. there was hardly anything left on the shelves.
got home and ate a good dinner. mom says i need to get a bath now to wash off all the sand. tonight the clocks spring ahead.
