Taking a (mini) break

I have been taking more time these last few months to relax and have time off from all the crazy work and it has really helped me hold together.  I wanted to share some snap shots on a mini break from last month as it was during term time (shock) and I managed to get enough done to walk a way for a bit!  Holiday time has started now with a flurry of meals, days out and family visits scheduled in.  I don't think we have a free couple of days to chill out in...Does anyone one else find that the holidays become overbooked before they begin.  5 weeks just isn't enough time!

 

The teeny tiny shepherd's hut (Daddy took the girls after school and I went down the following day)

 Holding hands with my eldest along the estuary.

 I did not take photos of each time we stopped to stroke a passing dog as we got into double figures...

  Another hand hold moment with my blue-eyed baby.

 I love taking photos of my husband taking photos!

 Coffee shop and crochet heaven.  The start of a new summer wrap for when the evenings have a little chill.  It was started and finished that weekend.  I will write up the pattern soon.

 Ok, this just made me laugh so I had to add these shots.  One mean Mummy= one drink + two straws!  I love the turn taking as they work out the best way to drink this.  I love the "kiss" shot especially!

 And now to collapse from the heat on the tiny bed.  The girls have yanked Daddy to the play park again.  In one day we had managed to visit the park about 6 times and, boy, was it a scorcher.  I am now chilling after a tiny snooze with my crochet on my lap *sigh*

 We had fish and chips in the evening and played boules on the bumpy soil drinking pear cider.  I hope you all take some time for yourselves in the over-scheduled holidays this year! x
