Full Circle.

I've been teaching all day. We had a lively day with the children making models of some of London's bridges using various construction toys, sticks, straws, cardboard and lots of tape. It has been a very muggy day and the rain finally arrived about an hour ago. We had already cancelled tomorrow's sports' afternoon because even if the forecast hadn't been for rain the field was so sodden that many of the activities would have been quite hazardous.

After school I collected Linas from the train station. Then it was back home to unload his bags, a shower for him and off to the Saunton Sands Hotel for his interview for a job as a wine waiter. View from the hotel car park.

It looks as if the interview went well and although they will phone him first they have already asked him to come for an induction day next Monday! The initial contract will be for the summer season but then there is the chance of having that extended. If he does get the job it will be like going full circle. We first came to North Devon on family holidays to Saunton Sands, the first year when Linas was a toddler staying in a holiday flat just along from the hotel and then staying in chalets on the sand dunes below. We continued with our family holidays on the beach until we got the chance to live here 18 years ago. Now after 5 years down in Plymouth Linas may be back at Saunton once again. Even in this rain there were people out on the beach.
