Ok so Google maps is a liar 😂 well you can’t Ok so Google maps is a liar 😂 well you can’t account for traffic jams I guess. Yesterdays 3 hour drive was actually more like 5 but on a plus note it was a beautiful drive through the Pyrenees and as Dylan said “it looks like we are in Africa”. 

Arrived on site in roughly 42 temps so setting up was fun but both children are used to it and now older they got stuck in with pumping and hammering the awning pegs. Thank goodness for an awning that is so easy to put up that a 7 year old and 13 year old can manage it. 

Here for a week. About a million pools and the sea next to us. Entertainment that will make Js toes curl but the kids will love it. 
I’m off to snooze with my book. 
It’s taking some planning this trip but we’ve made it...

At last!!!! She was originally booked on the cours At last!!!! She was originally booked on the course run by @bikerightuk the Summer of Covid and of course it’s taken this long to get her back on it. 

So pleased I strongly believe that swimming and cycling are so important for children and she’s now swimming like a fish and riding like a Olympian (well nearly 😆)

30 years I’ve known Mr Lane. The reason we met, 30 years I’ve known Mr Lane. The reason we met, the person that introduced us, a good friend, the best of friends left us a today. 

I am shocked of course not just for what I’ve lost but for her family. 
Doesn’t feel real that such a friend, the best of friends with the greatest of memories has gone. 

I don’t drink mid week but tonight I will be having a drink for her but not a special brew like back in the day!

So many amazing memories, how blessed I was to know her ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads those sparky Dads, go and give them a squeeze from me today. I was so lucky to have the sparkiest of them all ❤️

Rainy days and Sundays always make me glad

‘This post was written in collaboration with Snazaroo’

We are desperate for some sun or at least for the snow and rain to clear up. I am running short of rainy day ideas, really you can only play hide and seek in a house as small as ours so many times.

Just before the snow arrived we had a parcel arrive that has honestly kept us sane the past few weeks. Even Dylan at the grand old age of 8 (nearly 9 as he keeps telling me) was impressed. We had a box of face paints arrive from Snazaroo. To celebrate the launch of the final character of Snazaroo’s partnership with Disney we have been kindly sent the paints. The final character in the how-to guides is Kion the lion, from Disney Junior’s show ‘The Lion Guard’. 

Now I am really not a face painter. I’ve tried several times, it sort of comes as part of the job when you work at so many festivals but apart from a few flowers and some glitter I have always struggled to face paint. I can’t tell you how much money it’s cost me over the years at festivals so it’s time to get practicing before the season kicks off again and it may even save me some money!

Dylan was quite easy to paint, he wasn’t particularly happy about it but he sat patiently. I can’t share any pictures as he refused to let me take his picture. Matilda was a nightmare! She wiggled, moved constantly, rubbed it and kept running off when she got bored.

The paint was easy to work with. Add a drop of water and get painting. When Matilda rubbed it the paint stayed in place, unless I actually wanted it off and then it came off easily. It left no marks and friends who’s children have sensitive skin tell me it’s the best paint they have used for sensitive skin.

The pack came with a instruction book that had plenty of examples of characters to paint and a guide on how to paint each one. The tigers and lions were a big hit here and the sponges helped to do the initial orange face. The pack had two brushes which did the job but if you wanted to improve or do more detail it may be worth using a water colour paintbrush.

Thank you Snazaroo for keeping us busy over those snow days it was a pleasure playing with the paints and with the paint going along way we  have plenty more faces left to paint. I will keep practicing and fingers crossed by the Summer festival season I will be an expert of sorts.
