215. Farmer The Boy (It was a happy boy who got to drive the tractor for the first feed run of the week during our annual holiday to Coombe Mill.)
216. Eye Spy (We visited the National Trust manor house Trerice today as it has threatened rain, in the end it was brilliant sunshine!)
217. Catch A Crab Upon The Toe (A trip to Padstow Harbour yielded us three crabs and two shrimp, huzzah!)
218. Baywatch (No he's not trying to do a David Hasselhoff impression, he's running away from daddy who's trying to grab him to try some more bodyboarding at Polzeath beach.)
219. Three Little Boys (Jenny from Mummy Mishaps came to visit us today with the boys, and they all had great fun mucking about on the river.)
220. Rafting (We took part in the now annual raft race at Coombe Mill, which involves creating a raft from purely organic materials and then racing it down the river. All the families take part and it's great fun.)
221. Juicy (Our last few hours at Coombe Mill and we needed to get rid of our unused food before leaving, so we went to do our own 'feed run'. Clementine the donkey absolutely adored the pears and apples we gave her, taking over ten minutes to suck the pear juice out with a look of sheer bliss on her face the entire time!)

I would love to drive the Coombe mill tractor. 🙂 the raft race sounds lots of fun!
Kara Guppy says
Looks like you had an amazing time, which one did you stay in this time?
I really must visit in the summer as the summer activities look so much fun – love the Padstow pic too!
We have been trying without much success to teach Isaac how to body board too – trouble is it has been too calm here really
Karen says
Looks like a fantastic holiday, loving all the smiles this week x
Ruth (geekmummy) says

Jo Laybourn says
How fab to be spending the week at Coombe Mill. Looks like the boy has had a fab week. My two would love it there. A must for the future! #365
TheBoyAndMe says
I love the fact that you sorted the loom bands first, I bought a box the other day and had to rearrange the colours into spectrum order before anything else could happen. I couldn't agree more that a mix of days out and dossing around the house days are so important for the Summer holidays; it's the stuff of childhood memories.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.

brinabird and son says
Looks like it was a fab holiday!
TheBoyAndMe says
It was brilliant!
Susan says
Always look forward to seeing what you get up to at Coombe Mill – looks brilliant as ever. I refuse to belive that's not a Bay watch photo (mainly because I want it to be!)
TheBoyAndMe says
Alright it was a Baywatch photo, I have one of Mr. TBaM as well but I thought I'd spare you all 😉
Angela Spicer says
Looks like you#ve had a lovely week, and the weather has been very kind.
TheBoyAndMe says
The weather was superb, I'm so pleased we went last week and not this week! Mind you, at Coombe Mill you just make the best of a bad lot if it rains; there's so much to do there.
Steph @MisplacedBrit says
The shot of your Little Man peering out of the window is fantastic!
…And he looks like he's having so much fun charging through the waves 🙂
Happy Sunday!
TheBoyAndMe says
He really was having fun trying to escape daddy and the body board.
Nikki Thomas says
I have been looking at your photos all week from Coombe Mill and it looks so lovely. It certainly looks like you had a fantastic week.
TheBoyAndMe says
Coombe Mill is an amazing holiday, your children (and husband) would love it there!
Foz says
The more pictures I see of Coombemill the more I want to visit!
Love the beach running pic!
TheBoyAndMe says
Every picture of Coombe Mill shows off how fabulous it is, but it can never truly share the magic which you can only experience being immersed in it.
Emma T says
Looks like you had a great time at Coombe Mill. I love the sea photo. Great action shot
TheBoyAndMe says
We had an awesome time, and it was wonderful to get to the beach and enjoy the waves.
Jaime Oliver says
it looks like you had a fantastic time! i love the 3 boys plotting fun! 😉 x
TheBoyAndMe says
They had great fun together, they were actually looking for Mr. TBaM who was wading down the river.
Kate @ Family Fever says
I am so jealous of your week at Coombe Mill. The picture of the boy running out of the sea is just gorgeous.
TheBoyAndMe says
It's the one thing that we really look forward to every year, pay off a bit each month to make it more affordable. We decided this was our best ever holiday as a family.
Kirsty Hijacked By Twins says
It looks like you are having a fantastic holiday! I keep looking to book for next year it looks fab 🙂 as always beautiful pictures x
TheBoyAndMe says
Oh you must experience Coombe Mill once, although once you've been bitten then you'll never go anywhere else!
Coombemill says
Well the week of the year in pictures for me! Each one tells a happy day on holiday. What a wonderful week it was and The Boy is featuring in a few of my posts over the coming weeks on the back of it all too. Missing you all already!
TheBoyAndMe says
We really miss you, it always feels like a second home with you.
Emmys Mummy says
I've holiday envy. This is our favourite place. I've been looking to book for Easter next year as Harry has only been for a day trip and will love it.
Such happy photos
TheBoyAndMe says
Oh it is a wonderful place, once you've stayed then you'll never want to go anywhere else again. Easter is a very popular time with Fiona I believe.
suzanne3childrenandit says
Love the pic of all the boys in their underpants and wellies! Very fetching! Looks like a fab, outdoorsy week for you and The Boy. Crabbing is such fun, isn't it?
Menai says
Glad that you had a good time in your Happy Place – super outdoor activity photos and what a happy donkey!
TheBoyAndMe says
That donkey was wonderful, I thought it was so funny to see her standing there sucking the pear dry.
Helen C says
Looks like a fab week full of outdoor fun – and he looks very proud of catching the shrimp and crabs!
TheBoyAndMe says
He really was, daddy was not so pleased as he had to get them from the net to the bucket of water.
Elaine Livingstone says
love the running away from daddy laughing as he goes. Love the clear bucket, not seen one of them before. How lucky to get the first tractor ride of the week. Great to meet up with Jenny and the boys. Did you win the raft race?
Rollercoaster Mum says
Looks like you had a fabulous time – love the crabbing picture. I so meant to do some crabbing this year with the girls but we just ran out of time!
TheBoyAndMe says
It's not too late! Still plenty of time to find a harbour?
Susan Mann says
Looks like such an amazing time. I love seeing pics of The Boy x
TheBoyAndMe says
It's just as well considering how many I post 😉
Hanna Maria says
Looks like you had an amazing time. Think my little one would love a go on that tractor!
Jenny Paulin says
awwww the perfect holiday photos – you did so much and you were so lucky with the weather again. i love the one of our three boys (naturally) pants and wellies lol! happy memories of a lovely day at Coombe Mill 🙂
However, that aside i adore the happiness on his face in the one of him running in the sea and lookign at the crabs x
TheBoyAndMe says
We had such a lovely day together and he does enjoy spending time with Jenson and Burton, thanks for coming down. I like the running in the waves photo too.
Erica Price says
We love a good tractor ride too – in fact we did one yesterday. Hope you've had a fantastic holiday.
TheBoyAndMe says
It's so exciting for children to be in charge of something so big, isn't it?
OneDad3Girls says
It looks like you had an amazing time at Coombe Mill, you can't beat the excitement in driving the tractor
TheBoyAndMe says
I secretly want to have a go, but I think I might be over the height limit and Farmer Nick might veto it 😉
Sue Tyler says
Coombe Mill looks lots of fun. Brave Boy feeding the donkey. 🙂
TheBoyAndMe says
The donkeys are so gentle, they're really lovely.
Stacey Guilliatt (Nobody Said It Was Easy) says
Looks like an amazing week, you've convinced me even more!
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
Lovely to see The Boy having such fun at Coombemill, and I love the shot of him with Burton and Jenson. Fab! Great action shot running through the water, looks like he's having a great time 🙂 Sorry for being so late, I am so behind on my commenting! Finishing last week before I start this week… x
Becky Cowley says
What a great week! Love the photo of The Boy running in the sea x
TheBoyAndMe says
Me too, it looks like he's completely free and easy and shows pure glee, just as childhood should be.
