My Holiday

I was on holiday in July for a week we went to the seaside on  Monday. I was on the top of the hill I could see for miles. You can see the lighthouse 1 can hear a lot of seagulls. On the sand there were a lot of children playing with the ball. There were a lot of boats on the water on the sea at night time. If you look across the water you can see Arran. If you look other way you can see Ailsa Craig the curling stones came from Ailsa Craig.

We went through Maybole and on to Girvan we had a lovely day in Girvan. We went to the Maidens I went for a walk up to the caravan site at red gates. In the office there were a lot of old pictures of caravans. It was very interesting to look at. Some years ago we had a caravan on the site the site has changed a lot since.

Then we went to Clydeside we went to the garden centre we had our lunch in the garden centre.

My brother and brogan was up on Saturday afternoon. He was out the backdoor he was taking down the trees. Brogan was looking at his dad my mum came out with the tea . We all had a cup of tea Brogan had a cup of squash.

My two brothers were playing on Sunday afternoon at the bowling green in Strathaven .I was playing on Monday night at the bowling green .I had a good game of bowls I was playing against Ian Whitehill.

I'm working in Strathaven for four days the man who works in Strathaven is on holiday. I'm going back down to E, K, on Friday. I'm taking another holiday on the end of October for a week I have got fourteen days to take yet.

We went to see my brother, Kathleen, Brogan and the twins on Tuesday night. Brogan was playing with the twins in the house . They all went for a bath Ian came down the stairs with John. Ian was going to put on John pyjamas on him. Kathleen came down the stairs with Brady she was going to put on his pyjamas and they were having their milk then they went up to their bed. We all had a cup of tea. My mum and I went down the road.
