The most wonderful experience I have ever had
was a holiday I spent with a friend in Cornwall. As
we were camping, we were aJraid that it might rain, but
the weather turned out to be gorgeous. I remember
that week so clearly: the walk to the beach each
day; turning that final corner and suddenly seeing the
magnificent ocean spread out before me like a sparkling
blue carpet; the hours spent lazily lying in the
sun, and plunging into the sea when it got too hot. lt
was marvellous.
On the last day we were there, Jack and lwere lying
on the beach when Jack lauohed and said. "Look at
that silly woman waving at us!" We both grinned and
waved back, but she didn't look very happy.
"Hold on," I said suddenly, "she's not waving to be
friendly, she's waving for help!" We both ran down the
beach and dived into the water to save her. She was
OK, but she had got cramp and would certainly have
drowned if we hadn't been there! We both got our
pictures in the paper!
All in all it was an exciting and rewarding holiday.
I'm planning to go again this year
