My First Holiday!

Hello everyone,
Sorry about the lack of blog last weekend - I was busy travelling down to St Teath, North Cornwall where we stayed in a holiday cottage in a very quiet village for a week.
We had so much fun and on the whole mum and dad agree I was pretty good! Just a bit of car chewing and apparently it's not polite to chase every dog I see and ask them to play!
Here's what we got up to:
Saturday afternoon - once unpacked we went to the local coast and walked for an hour, had a drink in the pub and came home. I got lots of fuss off the nice bar lady.
Sunday - a beautiful day when we walked in and around Padstow.

Notice I was allowed off the lead. I had a brilliant time chasing sand, water, sticks, balls and other dogs!
Monday was a very rainy day and we got very wet walking in some big woods. It was great as I was off the lead a lot of the time. No pictures as it really was wet.  I still loved it.
Tuesday was another lovely day and we walked along coast cliffs into Newquay.  Mum forgot my water bowl and had to make me one out of a bread bag - quite nice! I ran round with some great dogs on the beach. Bit miffed when I wasn't allowed an ice-cream though. Apparently they are not for dogs. Hmmm.

Wednesday - A rainy morning but lovely afternoon. We walked through woods and farmland and I met cows and sheep. Well, I didn't meet them exactly, as I was kept on the lead. Also had to learn to negotiate 'stiles'. They come in lots of different shapes and sizes and I had to be lifted over quite a few.
On the evening we had visitors to the cottage as mum's family came to stay one night. They were nice and made a fuss of me.
Thursday - sunny again and a walk to Rock beach with the visitors. I met a great dog and we ran around for ages until we were both out of puff!

After a café lunch (where I had to sit under the table and be still - very hard, but I was ok), we then went another walk around a big hole called a quarry. Lots of rabbit sniffs here.
Friday - back on the beach! We went to Widemouth Bay and walked beach and coast paths.

By early afternoon I was getting tired (we had been walking several hours every day and when I was off the lead I probably ran lots more miles than mum and dad walked), so we walked back a little earlier than planned.
Just as well we went back early, as we then had a cosy late afternoon and evening at the cottage while big wind and rain raged outside.  I was glad to be snoozing on my fleecy blanket snug and dry.
On the last morning all the stuff got put back into the car - including me in the back with my bed and we set off for home.  We did stop off on the way for a last run round the beach and to take a couple of holiday snaps to remember our nice week by:
