Surf retreat to Porthcothan

Hello, so I have now finished my first of work experience at BHS and it was actually really good, I was doing something new everyday and everyone who worked there was so lovely! This week I am on my second placement at FOTONOW which is a photography company based in Plymouth and so far it has been really fun, we spent the day looking at exhibitions at the Plymouth Art Center and messing about with pin hole cameras and camera obscuras. This weekend I went to the North coast with loads of family friends who my parents have known forever and I have grown up with and we are all really beachy so we camped at Porthcothan Friday and Saturday nights and had the best time! I spent most of my time on the beach and surfing or cliff jumping with my friends Angus and Grace, and on Saturday we went took our boards down and went for a midnight surf with glow-sticks and it was amazing! Spending the evenings around campfires, drinking and staying up late singing and chatting, one of the best weekends I've had in while :) The only bad thing was that because it was so hot on Saturday, I got pretty badly sun-burnt :( even though I put loads of suncream on, it doesn't stop the fact I am ginger and my skin is repelled by the sun :( I was also annoyed with myself because I forgot to take my GoPro!!! I could have got some amazing shots of us jumping off rocks and surfing, but I did manage to get a few on my phone when we had our evening surf, before it got too dark, I hope you like them and that you are having a good summer so far :).
