On Easter Sunday, the sun had disappeared and the wind had returned. The kids got have a rest in the morning as we were going to St Michael's Mount, which is an old castle located on an island. It is a sister castle to Mont Saint Michel in Paris. During low tide you can access the island via a causeway. The causeway for accessing the island only opened at 12:40. It was very cold and windy so everyone had to rug up.
When we got there the wind was really blowing and the waves were lapping on the causeway. The photo above is when we were leaving and the tide was much lower at this point. We went with some other Australians from work: Jim and his wife Chris. They are from Canberra so don't fell the cold. We deftly crossed the causeway without getting our feet wet. There were some very hardy souls who were crossing barefoot.
We had a nice lunch with Chris and Jim on the island. Chris and Jim are grandparents and are missing their grandchildren so we lent them Ella for a bit.
Unfortunately they gave her back. Once we got off the island the kids played in the local park for about 30 minutes while we all froze.
On the Monday we drove back to Weymouth and in the afternoon I dropped Sarah and the children off at an adventure camp in Osmington which is near Weymouth. I'll have to leave it to Sarah to let you know what happened over the next four days....
