as we were going to st ives...

Amazing golden beaches, beautiful clear blue water (the photos do the colour no justice), a lovely town, the Tate St Ives and wonderful Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden and some cool kids to hang with and get all fancy-dressed up with for a very fun New Year's Eve... a great way to start the year.

But perhaps the best part of all? The fact that we were 2 boys and 7 girls meant that one of the boys could say, 'As I was going to St Ives I met a man with seven wives, and every wife had seven sacks and every sack had seven cats...' and aside from not enough actual marriages and a total lack of sacks and cats, etc. it was all totally true!
