Surfing kernow I had a fantastic weekend down in Cornwall. Saturday's highlight was the boys up to their middles in the sa before they realised it was cold. Followed by my own vague attempts at surfing. I decided to take my camera to the beach to see if I could become a famous surf scene photographer. I don't think that'll happen but I'm pretty pleased with these.

What is he doing ?

It's a paddle !

I hope I look like this

but I know I don't

I even wish I managed a wipeout as good as this (and yes I did take hundreds of phtos for the exact wipeout)

Incidentaly these are just random snaps at the beach. If you were at watergate bay over last weekend (especially if you're in the piccies) please leave a comment.

Two years of prevarication and 5 days hard work and finally ....

The wall is built.

A couple of years a go I leveled the area outside our back door and laid a patio. This meant I had to dig in to the slope that raises up away from our house, and that meant I was going to have to build a wall and some steps up to the lawn. For some reason I've found excuses not to do it ever since, until two weeks a go I was going in to Travis Perkins looking for fence panels (there is a fencing shortage in the UK at the moment) and came out with 400 bricks (well not literally, they did deliver them.

So I've spent most of Easter and a long weekend building it, but it is finally done. I think it looks pretty good. What do you think?
