Day Five. Water Babies

After a slow start, we went for a walk down to the sea front where we had a drink and looked out across the beach. Plenty of people had taken their dogs down onto the beach, but the signs were clear and we’re goody goodies so we didn’t head down.

Over the course of the week, Jean’s ear had been getting worse, and finally she decided to bite the bullet and go somewhere to get it seen to. In the mean time, we headed back to the caravan, had some lunch and prepared for our afternoon.

We booked a slot for swimming with Bella and Lily and after some kerfuffle, we got going. We were 15 minutes late but had booked the hour, so it didn’t seem like a problem.

Sadly, the man at the reception at swimming didn’t seem to share our relaxed approach to holidaying and told us off for being late, warning us that our spots could be given away.

Still, we got in and changing Lily was relatively simple. We got in the pool, and she didn’t hate it, which at the moment is the best we can hope for. I would even go as far as to say that she enjoyed it - there may have even been a smile. Jean and John managed to get back in time to see us in the pool too, so they didn’t miss out.

For the evening, we stayed in the caravan and we’re treated to a Burger King by Amy and Will.Read more
