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.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
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. 
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...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
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.
