David Cameron takes a new break in Cornwall - The Guardian

David Cameron and his wife Samantha have been posing for photographs as they started a fresh family holiday in Cornwall.

The prime minister's main summer holiday, in Italy, was interrupted after he had to return to London to deal with the riots. But the Camerons had always planned a break in the UK at the end of August and they have returned to the county where Cameron's daughter Florence was born last August.

The Camerons posed for an official photograph at Fresh From The Sea, a fishmonger in Port Isaac, where they bought scallops, mackerel and monkfish for a barbecue.

Including short trips, this is the Camerons' fifth holiday this year. As well as Italy, the Camerons went to Cornwall at Easter and Ibiza at half-term in May, while Cameron also took his wife on a short break to Grenada to celebrate her 40th birthday. In an interview on Friday Cameron said he would get "completely fried" if he did not have a break from time to time.

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, has been holidaying in Devon. Like Cameron, he also had to return to London after the riots broke out, but he rejoined his family on Wednesday. Miliband's holiday ends this weekend, and he will be back in London on Monday.
