Spidey Senses?

Gut intuition, feeling it in your water, sixth sense (great film, by the way!) are all ways of talking about intuition. My fav phrase for this is spidey senses, because I'm quite a fan of Spiderman. We've all felt it have n't we?

I remember the last time we went to Cornwall as a family. On the last day I walked the dog along Perranporth Beach on my own (apart from the dog, obviously!). I remember becoming quite emotional and having a few tears run down my cheek. It is a wonderful place the beach at the bottom of the hill below the Haven site at Perrenporth, really wonderful. I've seen beaches in the Caribbean and in Southern California that cannot begin to match up. The awesome beauty of that place is enough to make you emotional but there were other things on my mind. Especially at sunset.

Have you ever felt that you actually love a place so much that you know that you'll definitely come back BUT have a really strong feeling that things will be different next time? I had such a strong sense of it that day. Sure enough that was just about 4 years ago and we were a family unit. We were hiding the grave problems but atleast we were all there, each day. Of course a few years later it became crystal clear that Carol and I could not be happy together so things have changed. Now I'm lucky enough to see the kids 4 days a week which is quite good I guess; a lot of single Dad's are a lot worse off.

This Saturday, "the family" will go to Cornwall again for a holiday. Now however, the family is kind of made up of Chloe, Tom, Rob and myself along with Beth (Tom's lovely GF of 2 1/2 years, who is so lovely that we would happily adopt her!) and my Mum. We have a house rented in Newquay for the week starting on Saturday. It is close enough to the centre of Town so that Tom and Beth, who are both 18 now, can go off on their own if they want. It's also within walking distance of a number of great beaches to so maybe the lovely Honda, with the awesome stereo, will get a rest too!!

I have to say I'm a little apprehensive!! I have to be responsible for the well-being and entertainment of all these "kids" and my mum, who is just lovely but can struggle to hear and understand sometimes.
