We had a great Easter time in Devon with Clemmie and her extended family. Clemmie's approaching her third birthday now and her egg-hunting skills have really come on. Her linguistic abilities are also amazing - she's now firmly in the stage which Steven Pinker describes as 'all hell breaks loose' and never stops speaking. She loved her day out at the fun park - a context where grownups just say yes to everything you ask to do! Although I think Swinging Queen Bess was one ride too far.

The other kids had a great time too. Highlights for me included the fishermen silhouetted in the moonlight on Easter Saturday, Oisin racing ahead and getting lost on our walk along the cliffs (that's a loose use of 'highlight', you understand) and the Sunday pub visit with a really enjoyable walk there and back. Apoa and Kiloh took 80 photos on the walk to the pub. Thank god for digitisation!
