We blow into the seaside settlement of Windy Harbour – hike the cliff top, stoke two campfires, fish for salmon, revel in having a spacious grassy field outside our van to picnic and play, discover new pleasure in baking our own bread for lunch – and just over 24 hours later, we blow on out again.

The kids find out that the only thing better than a campfire at night ... is a campfire in the morning, with warm porridge to boot! The previous night they had taken the initiative to build the campfire from scratch themselves - scoring high on teamwork and cooperation, not so high on results (but nothing that some subtle tampering by daddy couldn't fix). |

During our morning of beach fishing we discover that even at a place named Salmon Beach we’re still not guaranteed a bite. Nevertheless the kids enjoy their new favourite game - playing chicken with the waves. Of course, no matter the weather, no matter the time of day, no matter the level of supervision, no matter how long or how short a window of time, Benji always ALWAYS ends up soaked, semi-naked and covered in sand like a chicken schnitzel. |
