We decided to head back to the beach - we had help for the day and I thought it might be one of the last stunning days of the year. Archie was a bit noisy to begin with but calmed down and we ended up having a long walk. He asked to go surfing but was happy to just jump up and down by the surf school shutters (shutters being a current obsession).
The younger boys played football up and down the length of the beach while Archie repeatedly asked to stay at the Burgh Island Hotel [burghisland.com] (£500 a night, no chance).
And it has rained ever since!
Wonderful set!!!
