Been a long time!

I haven't written for such a long time! I have been on leave (I managed to book just under three weeks from work which was fantastic). Alas I am almost at the end - only four days left. It has gone, like every holiday, far too quickly. We have had lots of day trips and fun times with family and friends. We have come back from a camping trip to Bude today. A few days in the rain hehe. Actually the weather wasn't too bad until this morning - just when we were taking the tent down! The heavens opened and we all got so wet it was awful. The poor tent needs to be taken out and put up or hung out to dry!! We went with Liz and Thomas as well as Tom's cousin Dillan and Emily's friend Cally. The children had a fantastic time but with so many children in a tent it was hard at times to keep everyone happy at times! We spent a day at the beach and the sea pool followed by a hike along the cliff path. The next day we walked the canal path (seeing lots of horses, sheep and alpacas who looked very cute) and spent the day messing around in Bude, shopping and having a good look. We did have plans for today but when the rain came and everything got so wet, including ourselves we decided that we could do them another day and came home. Everyone came back to our house and I made really hot soup and rolls and we watched a film. It was so nice to be able to have a bath and put my pj's on  :-)  Tomorrow I have a load of washing and wet things to deal with aaaaggghhh but I will hopefully be saved by Emma who has been baking tonight and will treat my hard work with a cup cake.
