The last of the bank holidays leading up to the festive season is almost upon us and it's time to decide what to do with it. This time we already know what we will be doing, at least for the first part of the morning as the first Mrs Izzard has an appointment at the hospital for her pre-treatment blood test leading up her next chemotherapy treatment on the 31st so that kind of eliminates going out for the day.
Instead we shall head off someplace on the Sunday and a trip out to the coast is a definite. A few years ago when our little boy was very young, we attempted to go to the lovely resort of Barmouth on the west coast of Wales. We'd been there before on a camping trip and had had a fabulous time as the site was very basic and allowed camp fires, so we had made a point of having a proper open fired barbeque on the Saturday night. It is a beautiful place to go to, not least for the drive which involves driving through the amazing landscape of the Snowdonia National Park. Alas, the last time we'd been we hadn't been able to find a space in the town to park so instead had driven further down the coast to Shell Island and had a couple of hours on the beach, the first time that Will had seen the sea.
This year he is a little bit older and we will be able to go earlier and it's possible that we will be choosing Brean on the coast of North Somerset which is just south of Weston Super-Mare and we will try to get there early and spend the day on the beach. We will also look to buy a small kettle charcoal barbeque in order to cook lunch and hope that we will be permitted to light it on the sands.
If we can't and we are unable to set it up somewhere nearby, we can only hope that they have some sort of facility for a publicly available barbeque that we can use instead, perhaps even to the extent of a gas barbeque which would be useful for the obvious reason that when we'd finished we could just switch it off, scrape the remnants off and leave it for the next people. If we have to use a public charcoal barbeque then you have the challenge of ensuring that it is fully out before leaving it so that it is safe. And I think that a dim view would be taken if one was to just throw a bucket of water over it as that would naturally make it harder for anyone wanting to use it later.
The simplest answer would just to be able to use our own kettle charcoal barbeque as we can just pick up a paper bag of coals to burn, though I will have to remember to take some matches as I don't own a lighter since I gave up tobacco in 2004. It would be useful to have a kettle gas barbeque but we just have the one size of gas bottle and it is really much too big to be practical.
I cannot wait to be honest. It's been a bad of a year for us so far, and the chance to get away, just for the one day with an exciting early start, spend a day lazing about on a beach and going swimming with my son and making sandcastles is going to be a rare treat.
