Holidays and sunburnt hands!

We’re coming to the end of a week spent in Devon and Cornwall. It has been quite an experiencing holidaying with an 11 week old! However, we managed to have a great time and visited Lanhydrock, a monkey sanctuary and the Eden Project, not to mention the picturesque seaside villages of Looe and Polperro. Here is my favourite picture, taken at the Eden Project.

I suppose I didn’t really anticipate there being any problems other than a disruption to the nice routine we had going. What I failed to consider were the lack of child-friendly places for an 11 week old. Some of the restaurants we went to (or tried to go to) just didn’t want to accommodate the pushchair or didn’t have any baby changing facilities. One place we visited wouldn’t allow buggies inside, doors of shops weren’t wide enough to let us through or access was round the back of the building. Baby changing facilities, if available, were squashed in a corner.

I shouldn’t moan as we had a good time. I was just surprised at how difficult some things were – and how sun burnt my hands are from pushing the buggy round in the fresh sea air all week 🙂
