We both left our houses at 10.30 and met up at the beach car park at 11.30. It was distinctly cloudy. Ah well, we can't have wall to wall sunshine every day! We walked along the beach to the town as several boys were claiming hunger. Troon is a small place, which obviously doesn't believe in Sunday trading, we found the high street - but every unit was very closed.
Luckily we did find a cafe which was open and they had room for the 7 of us. We didn't really care how good it was, we were just happy to find somewhere. It turned out that the food was really very good, all of it was home made. The kids (of course) all had the bigger meals and the adults smaller ones. Matt was back on Cullen Skink, I had garlic mushrooms, Tom a vat of macaroni cheese, Rory and Lewis were on burger and chicken goujons. Anyway all was good, everyone cheered up (apart from Rory - but he is 14 and there was a big footie game on today - so he was excepted!)
We walked to the sea front and came across Crazy Golf - we couldn't resist so we had a round. Matt of course won (doesn't he always?!) but I came second, not bad considering Neil is a handicapped golfer (not that that has any real bearing on crazy golf!).
We then went for ice creams before walking back to the cars and getting all the beach gear out. The afternoon was then spent with the boys playing beach cricket and then going for a dip in the sea with the rocket - they are all mad as the sea was freezing (that's what my big toe told me anyway!) No adults got wet! Oh and Rory finally warmed up and decided it was more fun to hang out with the kids than the adults. Only took him about 4 hours to work that out. He actually ended up having a good time - although i'm sure he would never admit that!
The sun never made an appearance, but we had a good day none the less. Didn't get back home till quite late.
