half way

We're pretty much at the half way point in our summer holidays and despite some iffy weather, we're still having a lot of fun.

The Boy spent his eleventh birthday going away to camp so we celebrated the end of his tenth year instead, with Annie providing inspiration for one of his favourite presents. Thanks Annie!


During his absence the Model, who enjoyed rare one to one attention, was treated like a celeb


feasted like royalty


indulged in a little fashion design


was even entertained by the RAF.




All in all, despite the weather we've managed to fit in a little beach combing


a spot of gardening


necessary architectural surveillance


avoidance of the paparazzi


and a whole lot of relaxation.


It's been a goodie so far.

I'm going to take a bit of a blog break while school's out, so here's hoping you all have a wonderful Summer. See you in September!

    Hadn't realised it was the 1/2 way point already - am rather enjoying having the boys about.

    Lovely pics - especially the feet hanging out of the 'building' on the beach.

    Enjoy the rest of your hols.

    What fantastic pictures - I love the legs sticking out- that really made me laugh. It's the sort of thing our lad would do.

    Enjoy the rest of the holidays - fingers crossed for the weather.

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
