We all had a terrible night's sleep as everyone woke up at some point during the night needing the toilet - so glad we bought a caravan with a bathroom!! Once Nick and I got up we really enjoyed our first cup of coffee sitting in the sun and decided a slow, relaxed day was needed. We had a slow breakfast and then did two loads of washing before heading off to the library to do schoolwork. The kids did quite well and Katharine has begun to enjoy helping Anna ...

Late last night Katharine and I went to the toilets and met a lady who had had a pair of trainers thrown into her annex around 930pm the night before by some school kids who then ran off! She noticed Katharine's bare feet and asked if she had lost any. Katharine was ecstatic to get them back. I couldn't sleep so in the middle of the night made a hot chocolate and washed up afterwards and not one person stirred in our tin can!! I then slept in until 8am tryi...

Happy Birthday Poppy Jon xx We were all woken early this morning when Katharine discovered her skate board had been stolen.

We had breakfast and I tidied up while Nick did the dishes. Unfortunately while making our bed I pulled my back and was fairly useless for the rest of the day! We went to th...

Woke up before 6am as Matty was rocking and Katharine needed the toilet. It was still dark outside so I went with her and then climbed back into bed and slept until after 8 - bliss! Nick, on the other hand, was up early, as the kids couldn't get back to sleep and they wanted games and music downloading n their ipods! By the time I got up he was in dire need of a coffee! It had rained over night and everything was a little soggy but it was still nice to sit ...
