Cornwall

I came back from Cornwall on Saturday and I truely had an amazing time. Surfed twice a day, every day, jumped off some cliffs and did a lot of sleeping (and waking up in the night because my sister snores like a man). It was so nice to get back on my board again and just be hurtled along by a huge amont of churning energy which you are relying on. Every so often, there would be a lull in the waves and you could just see the people working the waves with such skill that all you wanted to do was just stand there in the water watching them. It almost puts you into a trance as you watch them move across the water. I am in awe of them and one day, I want to be half as good as them: that is my dream.
There was also some amazing sunsets and as the beach we were staying on faced the west, it set over the sea which is one of the most beautiful things that I have experienced. It was truely amazing.
Now that I am back, I am back into the regular swing of things and trying to make the most of the summer days and trying to run away from the idea that summer doesn't last forever.
We didn't really have anything to do during the day on Friday which was the last day we were there so we went to play golf and I did terribly and got into a bit of a mood because of it: I don't like loosing.

This was also taken on the last day. We were walking back up to the house and we had a little game of french cricket which I am also not too good at and resulted in my getting hurt as it usally does. My brother hit my fingers with the bat..


I think it had just stopped raining here and was one of the few bits of sinshine that day and we had gone for a walk to this huge waterfall but as it happened, you had to pay to see it and no one was really bothered so we just walked back to the car.

This is me falling off a cliff. I didn't do it on purpose. I was meant to fling myself out and enter the water flawlessly but I bailed at the last minute and just fell off which was actually quite fun. I did manage to do it properly later which I am very proud of :D

Me surfing far in so that my dad could get a picture :D
Beautiful Sunset over the ocean.
