Queen's birthday weekend

We had planned to go to the beach for the long weekend. Somehow we never got there. We were too lazy (me), too tired (tiggy), too unwell (greg) and just plain uniformed (twink). I started to pack and then stared at my family as they lay there, relaxed (tigs), recuperating (greg) and refueling (hannah) an decided to pop the clothes back in the drawers, the bag away and snuggle up. Lovely really.

We did manage to get out for lunch with Flossy on Sunday. We went down to the bay, it was chilly and blustery and the clouds became angrier and angrier. We did manage a quick walk and bike ride but the ominous blue/grey rain clouds chased us back to the cars. No one’s really complaining here as we desperately need the water.

We beat the rain home and were all snug and warm inside for the afternoon. Big pot of soup on the stove and some delicious homemade rice pudding. YUM!

Tigs and Twinkle played with a pile of cushions and blankets for a while. The simple things are often the most fun. I’m not sure how much Twink enjoyed it but she was rolled around a bit!
