Family Holiday at the Seaside

One August holiday the family decided to take a house at the seaside and so a skeleton staff was picked to go and luckily I was included. The staff had to sleep in dormitories, which made a really nice change. I made good use of the sea and the beaches.

It was a real luxury to me. It wasn’t all fun and games though. I had to work really hard as well. I was put in the kitchens with the cook and helped with the preparing of the fish.

The family were very keen on fishing and every evening there would be fresh fish or shell foods on the table. Some days I had to prepare eels, so many of them that I lost count. These days I can’t bear to look at an eel.
