a quiet week in which several books are read, siblings forget how to get along, and the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" rule needed some refreshing.........
it was also a week of not enough cake, no early morning crafting - very remiss, of watching old favourite movies and old episodes of Dr Who as there is increasing excitement of the approaching new series.
a week of hairstyles as Miss K experimented with a curling wand, watching her get in a tangle trying to learn how to twist the hair round, whilst being confused by looking in the mirror was too funny for words, in the end I let her practise on me. I looked like a poodle by the end of it, lots of bonkers curls all going in different directions.............
a week of sorting out, of planning, of list writing, of making piles, of getting a suitcase to pack and finding there's a cat sleeping in it...........
ahead of us there are familiar places to visit, family traditions to uphold, new places to explore, family to see, friends to meet.
I'm taking some time off, I'll be back in a few weeks to catch up. x
Have a wonderful time! X

I'm afraid the "if you have nothing nice to say" rule has had to be implemented here too. Firmly.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely break. xxx
Have a great trip -- and take lots of pictures LOL!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a nice break and look forward to your return! xx
ReplyDeleteSummer break is just hard sometimes. I hope you have a wonderful break.
ReplyDeleteWhy do cats always make a beeline for an open suitcase ?
ReplyDeleteYour summer sounds lovely. Books, you say? Wow. And if your siblings have forgotten to get on, mine are doomed.
ReplyDeleteLove the take of the curling wand, I nearly got my ears burnt off the last time I let my daughter near me with one! Ouch. Have a great time. J x
ReplyDeleteHave fun. Read, relax and do.

Hope you're enjoying a fabulous holiday Tess, and lots and lots of cake!
ReplyDeleteThe nothing to say rule is ( pointlessly?) reiterated on a daily basis here. Sigh. Have a great holiday :)
