    Kids going to see Peppa Pig!

    August 17, 2020 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Peppa Pig World theme park is just off the motorway outside the new forest. It was a surprise that they told the kids about when they were in the car on the way. They spent the whole journey looking at the map of the park and devising what they wanted to go on. They were there from 10 till 5 pm and had a great time. They both went on the kids caterpillar ride and Finlay rode a grown up rollercoaster for the first. When it finished and he came off he said "again, again, againagainagain" just like his mummy and grandad!Read more

  • "We've had a lovely time at the beach!"

    August 18, 2020 in England ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    That was Emily's comment as we left the beach today to go to lunch.

    And she was right! It was a bit cloudy at first but slowly the clouds cleared and it was great. Splashing in the waves, flying a kite, making a sandcastle. Classic British morning at the beach.Read more

  • Not a trip to Isle of Wight

    August 21, 2020 in England ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Yesterday it rained solidly all day so we stayed in during the morning. In the afternoon Natalie had booked afternoon tea for her and Lynette as part of lynettes birthday present. Andy took the kids to the playground which they enjoyed but got muddy and wet!

    Today we knew was going to be fine and sunny so we had planned to take the ferry for a day trip to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, but all the ferries were fully booked so we settled for another trip to the beach, which was fine sunny and warm, but with much more people there than on Tuesday. Andy and Natalie wanted to go out for a meal on their own tonight while we looked after Finlay and Emily, but all the restaurants in the town were booked but they got a reservation at a Thai restaurant nearby. Generally it does seem to be busy with people everywhere, i guess it's a popular holiday place anyway, but then the virus has meant that people can't go abroad either.
