The Cohens came to visit

We had Greg, Judi, Adam, Luke and Ryan visit for a week over New Year. The house was FULL, but we all fitted. Judi has been missing the beach and ocean terribly, so she was really happy to be back at sea level for a while.

On one visit to the beach we went to Sandown. It was cold, but the kids played for ages in the sand and Judi and I went for a walk. This is a part of the rock outcropping at the end of the bay, the red/orange colour is beautiful.

Then on another day (New years day to be exact) the Bowens, Cowens and Baxters went to Steep Hill Cove. It is described as such a quaint lovely bay, and I thought it was, but when we got there Rachel said: "What a rip off!" You have to park and walk to get there, about 10 min. After the initial disappointment, she really had fun, and so did the other kids. They even found some Ammonite fossils.
