The end of summer and the month of August is drawing near. Soon the grandchildren will be back in school. In the meantime ... Nana, could I use your camera? Please! Turn it round then.

I watched a good television programme. I saw Porthcurno and the telegraph cables. They are still very important to communications. I saw Botallack mine and bal maidens and miners. Lesley Trotter talked about the Great Emigration of miners. After that the programme looked at body boarding, lobsters and smuggling.

Where can we swim safely in the sea? If there are big waves or a rip current the sea is dangerous, it is not safe. In the past there were swimming pools built in the rocks or against the cliff, filled with sea water at every high tide. There is still a very small pool on this beach but a pool in Newquay has gone. The best pool is perhaps in Bude. It is large. Even bigger is the Jubilee Pool in Penzance. It has geothermal heating.

I don't have a chance to meet my beloved niece very often, so today was a very happy day. We went to the beach to remember good times there. There was a great throng of people and the tide was on the ebb (going out). Rocks were uncovered, showing lots of mussels. A strong wind was blowing off the sea towards the land, the waves were rough and the surf was messy. It was not a good day for surfing. There was an unexpected noise - a beach guards' warning. "All people must come out of the water." The guards raised a red flag - there was a dangerous rip current. There was an immediate migration

There are only a few days of summer left to us now. Already there are apples on the trees (and ground) and there are blackberries on the brambles. I'd like to make a blackberry and apple crumble (I can't make good pastry!).

The rain was welcomed by some farmers and firefighters. There is water for animals and plants, and grass fire is extinguished. But there is another problem with too much water. It goes in the wrong places, in cellars for example. And there are warnings about sewage in the sea. Where can we surf?

First we didn't have enough water and there was a threat of a hosepipe ban. Then rain came, but it was too quick and the ground was too hard. Now there are floods in the streets. Is the rain filling the reservoirs again? Will the floods cause pollution troubles? And this little whirlwind, could it cause damage?
