Time to move on to a new blog design for summer. I have switched back to an old header picture of St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, which is where we will be headed for our summer holiday at the end of the month.

Lovely! And hope you have a wonderful family vacation!
Lovely, I have good memories of a holiday where we visited St Michael's Mount.
A funny story too - I'm pretty sure this happened near St Michael's Mount, but childhood memories can get a bit mixed up. As we walked to the Mount we passed a man who was apoplectic with rage over his wind-surfer, which apparently wasn't behaving as he wanted it to behave. Lol, he was kicking it, screaming at it, and generally flouncing about like a disgruntled toddler. It makes me smile to think of it now. Poor chap.
Oh dear! Sounds as though he was not having a good day!
My St. Michael's Mount memory is many years ago walking across to the Mount, and then trying to scurry back across the causeway before the tide came in. By the time I got to the other side the water was ankle deep. What boggles my mind now is that it didn't occur to me to take my shoes and socks off ... I just paddled across fully shod. And I was an adult at the time too, so should have known better!
Pretty!!!
