We’ve had some lovely weather over the past couple of days. We’ve had some pretty dodgy weather beforehand, mind you, but now that the UK tourists have gone home (kids are back at school in the UK now – ours have been back a week already here in PT!) the weather is doing as it usually does. Turning nice again!
I’m going to apologise in advance for the picture quality of all of these. Some are taken on iPhone, some on the iPad!
Nik took this photo yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, when he and Eliot rode their bikes down to the beach.
It’s a surreal-looking photo. Almost looks photo-shopped! In fact, one of Salvador Dali’s melty clocks wouldn’t look out of place there!
This morning, it was such a beautiful morning that I took a few pics from our balcony.

Eliot ended up with a day off school today. We went into school this morning only to be informed that the year 3-4 teacher was not in today or tomorrow and “see you Wednesday! Ho hum.
Oh well, Spiderman was able to take time out from his busy people-saving schedule for a bit or R’n’R and posing! (yes, we did actually walk to town with him dressed like this!)
Spiderman strikes a pose - or something (apologies for the smear on the camera lens!)
It’s been pretty windy still today so Eliot and Nik headed down to the beach for a bit of kite-flying, while the beach was empty!

It’s at that time of year when everything looks beautiful in the sun but the tourist “hoards” haven’t arrived yet. We’ll make the most of it, while it lasts!
