Our planned camping trip with the Elliots was rained off, so we rented an apartment on the beach in East Wittering. Andrew and Pip dared each other into swimming in the sea during a break in the rain.
We visited possibly the worst tourist attraction in Britain. At one [...] The third leg of our Grand Tour, after Scotland, was a night in a cottage in Whitby. The town was lovely and I’d like to spend more time there one day – we arrived at five and left at two the next day. Just time for fish and chips, the lifeboat museum, the pier and [...] From the Lakes we drove up to Peebles for Griff & Clare’s 10th Wedding Anniversary. On the Friday Amy had her fifth birthday party at Traquair Village Hall. More photos on Facebook.
Saturday night saw the grown-ups’ party at the same venue, with a meal and a brilliant ceilidh. Congratulations Griff [...] We’ve completed the first leg of our Grand Tour. We left London after work last Friday night, at 8pm, and drove to a cottage in Eskdale Green in the southern Lakes. We arrived at 2am after a ridiculous final five miles where the roads were packed with hundreds of sleeping sheep and cows. We had [...] We’re using up the last 10 days of the school holidays in a Grand Tour of Britain. Leg one – the Lakes Leg two – the Scottish Borders, for Amy’s birthday party and Griff & Clare’s 10th anniversary ceilidh Leg three – Whitby Leg four – Felixstowe for my sister’s new puppy, and my Dad’s [...] The final camping trip of the summer was to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, 12-15 August. We camped with the Griffiths/Prentons and the Peppes and Kitty (Scotland) and the Hendriks (Amsterdam), so it seemed fairly central. The campsite (Mason’s at Appletreewick) was brilliant – on the river, just a couple of minutes from two pubs, [...] We spent the last weekend of July camping in Norfolk. We stayed in the back garden of the Duke pub in Bacton. Nick, Nadege and Noe camped with us, and my Mum & Dad (in their motorhome) and sister (in our tent) stayed on the Saturday night. Pip, Liz, the girls and I went [...] We’ve just got back from a week in Majorca. We went with the Griffiths/Prentons, the Hendriks, the Derbys, the Silkys and Dr Duncan. That makes 11 adults and 10 kids under five. Very relaxing! We stayed in a huge old farmhouse villa outside Soller, near the hillside village of Fornalutx.
The [...] We drove over to Fi & Wim in Amsterdam for the late May Bank Holiday this year. We went to an amazing adventure playground at a rejuvenated gas-works, Wester Gasfabriek, which was basically a swamp. You could commandeer a raft, or build a bridge.
As it wasn’t snowing this time, we [...] We went to Kent for this year’s six-day Easter. It was gorgeous weather, the bluebells and the paddling pool were out, we even barbecued a couple of chickens. I cooked lunch for 22, we had St George’s Day bacon and eggs at Tilmanstone Village Hall and managed a walk to the pub. My Mum and [...] |
