It was good

ailbheCornwall was lovely, though very, very difficult without a car unless you're happy to stay very, very local - since Linnea was able to walk two miles to the shop and we got a bus most of the way back that was fine, but we were disappointed to miss the Eden Project. We'll have to go again - probably by bike, or from a campsite nearer St Austell.
I haven't read back on LJ yet, but have answered a couple of comments I got in email. I've read some of my email too.
Today and yesterday I tried to cut Linnea's hair. Disaster, finally ending in a snipped ear, so I took her to the hairdresser for repairs. I won't do that again until it's at least brushing her shoulders; she can't keep still enough for me to trim ends over her ears, and I can't work out how to trim her fringe without getting in her line of sight, which drives her nuts.
Camping with two children is fabulous but never, ever again will I trust a campsite owner who claims one can buy everything one needs at the onsite shop and there are loads of buses. I really thought we'd be ok but we did end up depending on other people for shopping and transport, which I hate.
Also, today Emer got her first proper outdoor shoes. Not too hard, Clarks 3G, boys' style because she has a high instep. So now she can go to playgrounds and so on.
She can take them off, too.
Today's eco-experiment is ecoballs to wash nappies. Wish us luck.
