Omg summer.
Stretching out forever. Summer holidays have arrived for my lot. No school for six weeks and the sun is shining.
Breathe the free air Evie. Breathe it in.
It ain’t half hot.
I’m busy. Filling up the paddling pool and various inflatable animals for the after school paddle club.
Think there may be other little paws wanting to cool down today.
Hit the decks.
If you can put the deck chair up yourself you can sit in it….well that one backfired didn’t it?
Sun burnt.
I took the kids camping for the weekend and unfortunately, we all got sunburnt. I did use sun cream but the sun was unusually strong for Wales yesterday.
Jellyfish.
We discovered lots of jellyfish washed up on Three Cliff’s Beach today.
Bonnie thought they were things to be played with and the girls thought they were great.
Gruff is still coming round to the idea of holding one.
Golden.
How can you persuade a dripping, golden yeti off your picnic blanket?
You can’t, he is in love with your dog and no amount of sandy food will come between them.
Towel anyone?
It ‘aint half hot mam.
Since Evie has been born, our summers have been a lot on the wet and windy side and less on the belting hot side.
Well it’s belting hot now.
Prickly heat.
Gruff’s covered in a lovely heat rash, which can only mean one thing, we must be actually having a summer this year.
When your blood runs cold…
..on a a very hot summer’s day, in a crowd of fifty thousand people watching the red arrows.
Where the hell is my son?
Feeling very greatful to the police, the special constables, the lovely people on the beach and coastguard for returning my happy adventurer to us.
I feel like I’ve aged ten years today.
Summer hats.
Wearing summer hats does not excuse you from the shear joy I have of applying sun cream to you all.
A Rare Outing.
What’s covered in dust, cobwebs and spiders, lives in the garage and only sees daylight for a few days a year?
Still guarenteed to send my lot into a joyus frenzy.
Definition of Summer.
1. My little perils are in bed and it’s light outside
2. I can have my cup of tea in the garden and watch everything turn pink as the sun sets.
3. The swifts have returned.
