General
Elliott was good for all of today, although towards the end when he was tired he decided he didn't like bubble bath and was stubborn about getting into his bath. The only real downside of the day was that Elliott fell over in his shorts on the concrete beach front and grazed both his knees. He was quite upset about this as it was a bit painful for a while, but was soon back up and running around.
Activities
In the morning we went to Bournemouth with Andrea and Chas and Billy Loft. We went to Alum Chine where there is a playground, cafe and stretch of beach that is normally less busy than more popular places. The weather was a little over cast but the sun peeped through regularly. Elliott and Billy started by playing in the play ground for a while. They did a lot of paddling and collecting sea in their buckets which they then filled a hole they'd dug in the beach with. They did this and some splashing about and creating channels for ages. Then Matt and Harry Higgins arrived and helped build some sand castles. Finally Alex and Lucas Dawson arrived just in time for lunch and we had a packed lunch of rolls, flap jacks and biscuits in the play ground.
After lunch we played on the beach for a bit longer and then travelled back to Fordingbridge where we went to the park and played on the slides, see-saw, swings, etc there. We also played football and rugby and some racing games like in the Olympics. After the park Matt and Harry Higgins went home and the rest of us went back to Downton - where I'm house sitting for Granny and Grandpa who are on holiday - for tea, bath time and sleeping.
