Hi Sean,
Thanks very much for your message. I'm glad you're free at the weekend. We /drive to
Newquay around ten in the morning. It takes about four hours from my house. I bring
some sandwiches. We'll be hungry before we get there. In the afternoon we cycle along
Watergate Bay, perhaps.
It's beautiful there. You take some fantastic photos with your new camera! Then, in the
evening, we eat at 'Mickey's', if you like, the small fish restaurant in Newquay. It's very :
popular, so I reserve a table before we go. I've booked two rooms at the Sandy Beach
:
Hotel, of course. My friends Dave and Connie stay there every summer. They love it. :
Then, on Sunday we visit Sheila and Michael. They live in Exeter, on our way home.
What do you think?
Best wishes,
Francesca
