Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Back home from our holiday in Poole. Had a nice time holidaying for the first time with Osem Jnr # 2 but he was really good and enjoyed doing lots of climbing, trampolining and swimming/watersliding as well as watching the all the helicopters and parachutists overhead most days.

Can't wait for a long hot bath... :)

Poole is a place our family have good memories of.:)

Visited St Ives today as at long last we have a sunny warm day. Drove along the very scenic and twisty B3306 from St Just. Stopped at the Gurnard's Head Hotel as there is a great walk down to the headland after which the hotel is named. You often see seals and dolphins in the bay but not today.

St Ives was really busy and I had to park up in the main carpark on the hill and walk into town. Warm in the sun. :Sun:

By the time I started back the skies had already clouded over. They say there's rain coming. Again.

Is is nice Den and Hamworthy Park was excellent - right next to a lovely beach and equipped with a huge paddling pool, lovely big kids play area and outdoor sports zone, cafe etc. A terrific facility.

The staff at our holiday park were very good with Osem Jnr #2 which made life a whole lot easier than it might have been. I don't think many people appreciate how hard it is dealing with a 6ft 2in young man who's as strong as an ox but behaves likes a child, however they were exceptional so we'll be writing a letter of thanks mentioning them to the company. Seeing him scaling the climbing wall like a rat up a drainpipe was a sight to behold. He's virtually fearless and if he'd been born without his various problems I have a feeling life in the armed forces would have suited him very well indeed... :)

Glad you all had a good time, ;)

Feeling quite happy today, Going out for some good Country Music tonight. Hope it is the same as last night in Glasgows Grand Ole Opry as it was excellent,

Just heard from Osem Jnr that he's passed his final teaching assessment and is now a qualified teacher so he'll be taking up his offer of employment in September.

We're obviously really proud of him and I have a feeling he'll go far in an environment in which men are hugely underrepresented and young boys have very few male role models to look up to.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well now that is good news :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done to Osem Jnr as its certainly a achievement to be proud of.:tu:
