You really don't need to read this, but I just had the urge to write it down and it's not a fanifc. Anyways, here's a picture of a little bit of the garden of Rock Cottage, or 'The Holdiday House', as my cousin calls it. Ignore the writing.



Anyway this is my granny's cottage, or house rather but Rock Cottage sounds better than Rock House, that is on the west coast of the country where I live. To give you an idea of how big it is, it has eight bedrooms and six bathrooms and they have a bit of the beach as their garden. The house is very pretty and spacious, and brilliant for hide-and-seek! The garden is awesome too, and like I said, great for hiding in. Though the beach, although lovely when it's hot, can look almost sad when it's rainy, which is practically all of the time, because it's grey and the sand is not sand but slatey gravelly stuff.

Since my granny and granddad bought the house when I was about six or seven, I have a lot of memories of it. Such as the first five-hour car journey where we got lost or the most recent car journey when me, Mum, Dad, brother, sister and uncles and their girlfriends were coming home and the road back was closed. We were told to go over this snowy mountain. There was Hogmanay with the fire on and the doors open, the fireworks and the burning bush, the floating fishingrod and the large stick, the runaway boat (and that was an exciting one), the plastic bags on the roof and the quicksand and bogs. You get the point, a LOT of memories!

Yeah, and this summer, this Friday in fact, we're going again!! Each summer we always go with my aunt and uncle and two cousins. It's always brilliant fun!! Last year was great with the Fireman Sam Game when my dad told me to climb up to the top of the huge rock and he'd pretend to be Fireman Sam and get me down. Well he did, but my cousin wanted to climb up too. So he went up but got scared and didn't want to come down. We got him down. He went up again. Got scared. We got him down. It goes on and on!

That time we also went on the boat across to an island. We were supposed to go inside, have a cup of tea and my brother and cousins were supposed to go on the climbing frame outside. Didn't work out like that. The first disaster was when we got there and there were dogs. My cousin is terrified of dogs. So we went into the cafe. It was full. And we couldn't go back home for an hour. So we bought some tea and went to sit outside. Fortunately it was a nice day. Not for long. The rain came. Cold tea and soggy scones. Yuck! It was fun anyway!!

I guess I should stop rambling on now!! Anyway, bye!
