Hello Blog - you still here? Sorry I've been neglecting you a bit but we've been too busy living real life and however much I love you when the sun is shining and the holidays are here the family comes first. Anyhoo this is a bit of what we've been up to..
|
The first weekend of the holidays we set off for some camping on the Isle of Wight - we played, relaxed and witnessed some awesome sunsets. |
|
There was the compulsory visit to the seaside and the making of sandcastles. |
|
After one brief night at home we headed off for more camping, visiting relatives on their farm where the girls enjoyed running free. |
|
We squeezed in another visit to the beach - this time for some rockpooling at Crackington Haven
|
We then packed up the tent again and headed off to the nearby Leopallooza music festival with a whole gang of people - thoroughly enjoying ourselves despite the rain for the first day and night |
|
|
This was the first time we had taken the girls to a festival and camped and even though there was no special kids entertainment they had a great time and did not want to leave - my two festival chicks! |
|
Leopallooza also hosts the Jack Gear Freeride Mountain Bike competition and there was some incredible tricks being shown off.
|
We finally returned home and this week I have done LOTS of washing and generally catching up at work and home and we have even made a little bit of progress on the allotment - we have actually planted something but a lot more planning and digging is needed yet!

The girls and I still managed to squeeze in one very hot, sunny day out - to the lovely Butser Hill Ancient Farm for lots of fun with the Rural Areas Play Project - they practiced archaeology, did chalk carving, made clunch walls and even iron age jewellery.
Sorry for all the pics - you could have had many more though! Until next week (maybe) don't forget to check out the rest of the gang at the Boy and Me:
