The Acorns Go Camping in Suffolk
...actually, most of the Acorns went camping in Suffolk, and had a thoroughly enjoyable break.
Big and Middle Acorn didn't want to come, so we only had our Little Acorn with us, which was great as it meant we weren't torn between all the different things everyone wants to do.
The weather was a vast improvement on last week and it only rained once.
We stayed on a camp site near Dunwich, a fascinating little place that is falling slowly but surely into the sea, with a great little museum. I think we'll have to go back when Little Acorn is bigger, it certainly covers the topics of erosion and long shore drift very dramatically!!!
Our new tent turned out to be the size of an aircraft hanger, so much so that we have invited the "other 2" to come with us when The Acorns Go Camping Again... next week.

Our Holiday Blog
Last week, the entire Acorn family went on holiday to Penzance.
We set off at 5.30 am hoping to miss the majority of the traffic, but got stuck an hour later when we discovered the M5 had been closed due to flooding.
Floods? We knew nothing of floods, (too busy packing to listen to the news) so foolishly tried to divert via Evesham. Not the best of plans...
...we eventually managed to get back on the reopened M5 and arrived late and somewhat hassled at our apartment in Penzance.
We had a lovely relaxing week, with not too many disagreements:
Big and Middle Acorn got along well.
Rich and Little Acorn chilled out.
I DON'T DO PHOTO'S....so there is none of me...
We spent much of the week on the beach, although the weather wasn't brilliant.
On Friday we went to the Eden Project:

We came back home on Saturday, relaxed and revitalised.
