The morning walk to the swings with Leo and Brody is becoming something of a holiday tradition. Today we walked down the hill to a very clear view of the bay, the light wind has cleared the air. Today, though, there was a difference. We were headed to Verdi's for lunch. I had already had a large breakfast, adding scrambled egg on toast to my usual cereal, and a few çherios that Leo insisted that I ate. He is always generous with his food and likes to share it around.
So after a while on the swings Jo departed to get nappies, and Leo and I set about learning to walk on the wall, Brody walked obediently beside me. I should say that I was not on the wall, only Leo was. Leo was very tentative at first, but soon got the hang of it, even managing to walk around obstructions from the boats. We came to a man sitting on one of the seats with a dog at his feet. Brody barked to clear the way, but it wasn't necessary, Leo managed to walk on with me at arms length. When he had had enough we walked back to the start and shortly after Andy and Jess arrived. Andy took Leo along the wall, he was much more confident this time.
The service at Verdi's is fast, so we had lunch about noon - pretty good afer breakfast a 10am. Still we managed it. I was quite over full afterwards, but the food had to last a long time. We walked to the pier, Andy, Jess and Jo went down the pier, Brody and I waited at the top. On their return Brody got all excited so I let him go, he ignored the returnees and dived down the steps to the beach. Conned by my own dog! - an all time low!
We wandered around the amusements and tried the radio controlled boats, by now Leo had woken and tried to join in with the boats, but neither of the ones we tried would steer properly.
We wandered around the end of Bracelet Bay to Castellmare and had a drink, Leo played in the boat and on the slide that protrudes from it. Sometime around 4 pm we returned to the Bungalow.
It was Andy and Jess's night out, so Leo was left with only Nanny and Grandad. He had his tea with us, and then we went up to the nature reserve where we 'ran for Brody' along the paths up to the view point, and down the hill a little back toward Bracelet Bay. On the way back he helped me cut down the brambles sticking out from the hedge. I'm not sure he can identify a bramble, but he can cerainly say it, and he can certainly swing the ball thrower at them. Back at the bungalow he had a bath, his milk, his bed time story and was soon asleep. Jo and I had a great evening with our Grandson and I her that Andy and Jess also had a great time - they had both had two large meals today and were clearly very full of good food. That's anoher thing holiday's are for.
Now to blog about the day - or not - TalkTalk parental settings block blogger.com, facebook.com, but not twitter.com - all very strange, so I'm trying this blog entry from the tablet, as apps appear not to be affected. I will know for sure in a few minutes.
