Sandsfoot Hide N Seek

Summer is coming ! a quick picnic and games of hide n seek at Sandsfoot castle were the aim of the day on Sunday, followed by a long walk in to town and a 'Rossi' ice cream. Then a quick trip back through town to see some vintage bikes and meet Katharine from work.

Windsurfing Weekend

This weekend Oliver had chosen to take part in the windsurfing opportunity that WeyValley school had organised. Luckily for Bethany not all the children had turned up, so she was offered a place, which she jumped at! So in total there were 6 children, 2 teachers and 2 instructors. The sun was shining the sea was calm and the wind was slight, ideal for mastering the sport, and within 1 hour they were all up on the water sailing away. So when Sunday came they were all naturals and it was up and away from the beginning and when the wind died, they were allowed to try paddle boarding, another exciting opportunity.

Just like mother duck and her ducklings.

Morning walk

Saturday 26th would have been my dad's birthday so it was nice to start the day with a relaxing walk around Upwey & back through Bincombe. We have not been on many long walks lately so it was nice to back amongst the fresh air , wind and rain, and thankfully there was not many objections from the kids.
