A Summer of New Beginnings

I wasn't sure I would be writing any more blog posts after my 'can't be arsed' phase but actually, I've missed this. Writing to nobody in particular, keeping a record of our life.
I decided to give it another go. I feel calmer, happier and quite chatty again if I'm honest.
Lots of things have changed over the Summer...I've met new people, I've been getting out and about and really enjoying new experiences again, our littlest boy started school and, oh yes, we got married!

I started reading other blogs again, something I've not done for a while. It's made me realise that even if not a single person reads this blog, I will enjoy it nonetheless.
I haven't got any great subjects to discuss. It's just me and my family and a slightly deranged cat.
I had to start again somewhere, so I guess this was it.

Next time I might eve have something nice to share.

Goodbye Summer..it's been fun

Sunshine and showers. Pirates, bowling, park, picnics and the seaside. Lots of fun & giggles. Painting, sticking and collecting. Ice cream & strawberries, making, baking and film nights.

Summer...It's been lovely knowing you!

Beside The Seaside...a birthday treat!

It was my birthday in July..happy birthday to me! Pain au chocolat for breakfast, flowers, presents and taken out for tea after a long, hot day at work

The following day, we went off to the seaside for a treat!

I've been obsessed with the seaside since I was a little girl, so to me, it's the best place to be..whatever the weather or season.

Even at the grand old age of 28...(oh ok, ok...43), it still has the same magical appeal.

We had such a brilliant day...the weather was perfect, the sea was warm and we laughed and played in the sea for hours

We had a beach picnic and ate some strawberries

Then the tide crept up and swallowed the beach..time to move!

When you're at the seaside, there are certain traditions to uphold...fish and chips, ice cream, funfair and amusements! I would have been very disappointed if we didn't go home with some furry monstrosity from the grabber machine and a pocket full of 2ps!

We got home very late but very happy with sand in our shoes..I love being beside the seaside!
