The men will never really know what went on that Saturday night. Rumour has it that there were requests for Simon the “waiter” to strip. Did he? Photos of the evening are here http://photos.hugh-jones.com/4774048
Amory had been looking forward to our little camping trip to Cornwall for weeks now, and it was such a pleasure to see him have so much fun over the three days.

We set off on Thursday evening and despite the travel planner telling us it would take fiver hours, we managed to get to Rock in just over four. We left at 7:30 from London and surprisingly for the school holidays, the roads were very clear.
We laughed so much when we heard the following two voicemails that I received from Pilar, our Nanny, and followed shortly afterwards from Amory.
To give you the background, I was down on the south coast …..
When the weather forecast shows gales blowing in at force 7 and sun coming out in the afternoon, warm water, 18oC air temperature….. and you are in the UK, you don’t need much to convincing to take a day off work and head down to West Wittering for a days kite surfing.
There are probably only one or two days a year with conditions like this. Today will partially make up for the dire wind down in Tarifa when I really only got out for two good sessions on two days out of 14.
Just beautiful.
After a couple of weeks of the tiring task of interviewing for a new Nanny, what could be better than to get out of town for a hot summer weekend at Harriet and Alan’s.
Now there’s a headline you don’t usually see!
Apparently the creature is pretty good at predicting the winners. Time to put all your money on Spain I think!
