We went to Woolacombe, on the north coast of Devon, for a belated celebration of Dave H’s birthday.

His actual birthday, which was several months ago, was spent somewhere over the Atlantic on the return from our California trip and it’s taken until now to get around to celebrating it.

I learnt several things this weekend:

• Wine shouldn’t be drunk from coffee mugs. It goes down far to fast.
• I’m never going to be a pro-surfer.
• I’m never going to be a pro-golfer either. I nearly hit a bride having her wedding photos taken with my ball, my aim was so bad.
• Sit-on-top paddlers are taking over the surf.
• I should use sun cream.

Anyway it was a good weekend all in all. A few pictures from it can be found HERE.
