We have been away in our caravan with our grandchildren to Bridlington. Good fun but a bit crowded as there were six of us. It’s a big caravan with five good bunks but not six. I ended up sleeping on the floor but as I am last to bed and usually first one up it worked out well.
The weather forecast was cool with some rain all week but it didn’t really happen, it was warm and sunny most of the time.
We took them to the John Bull Seaside Rock factory where they rolled their own rock with their own letter down the middle then cast a chocolate lollipop each. The lolly’s didn’t even leave the factory before they were eaten, we still have the rock though.
A day on the beach is compulsory and we did that building a large sand-castle fort, paddling in the sea, playing ball and eating ice creams.
The evenings were good because there was nightly children’s entertainment at the club so I got a few beers down. Well, I mean. You need it to withstand the children’s shows, you could go mad.
Needless to say that the kids loved every minute and didn’t want to come home but four days of entertaining them takes its toll. We were both ready for a quite night.
I see from the news that the Middle East is on fire. The Islamic State is murdering none believers by the hundreds and in the most horrible ways. How they can claim it to be in the name of God baffles me. If many religions say that there is only one God then surly it is the same God; and if each are paying honest homage to that one God then God loves them all equally. Why would God question the spelling and punctuation of his peoples beliefs if they truly worship him? He wouldn’t would he. That’s a failing of mankind not God. If there is a hell the killers are going there and that hell would be complete oblivion.
