beach memories

I spent yesterday afternoon on the beach with my sister her partner, her son (11) and my youngest son (11). it is strange isn't it when you are in a place that is very familiar and yet new. the beach in question was a place we visited a lot when we were children in the 1970's. I now live about 7 minutes walk away. we have had family in the area for many, many years.

For all sorts of reasons the place made a huge impact on me when I was a child (around age 11).

I made it my home (permanently about 15 years ago) after time in sussex (brighton), hampshire, france, london. my sister still lives in the area we went to school, sussex. I have the feeling that she will also move down sometime in the future.

it was a lovely day the sun was warm sitting on the beach brought back many memories of days past. our children were happy to play on the beach together mixing the new (to them) with the familiar (to us).

Ellie's Haven update >>

it is very difficult to measure the effectiveness of any awareness campaign after only one day as far as the film clip posted on this blog yesterday. especially as it coincided with uploading the video on youtube, in its full version and broken down into clips all these can be viewed here.
the ellies haven website as well as many other things have been active for a while now.

the awareness campaign is to be added to by way of email (a few hundred have been sent already) all the emails will be sent through person to person.
although it has been time consuming, we are actively trying to reach as many people as possible without spamming.

ellies haven as a project will last hopefully for many years. if you want to help simply pass on the a link to the ellies haven website, or to the youtube link even to this blog. so that as many people as possible get to see the work that is hopefully being done down here in a small cornish town.
