Both Nick and I were up through the night with the dog and if it hadn't been so cold it would have been quite pleasant watching the stars. As it was we were both desperate to get back in bed to warm up again! Tally is beginning to sleep in a little longer in the mornings and the kids often wake up before her so they take her outside for a wee while Nick and I sleep on. We eventually woke up around 8 and although it was dry outside it was still freezing! I h...

The storm hit in the early hours and we were woken up by thunder and lightning. Matty, Jonny and Anna dived into bed with us and Tally jumped into Katharine's bed, although that was more to soothe Katharine than the dog, as she didn't seem phased by the storm at all!! We had a huge breakfast while waiting for the rain to stop and every time it abated we'd pack up a bit. We hit the road around 11 am with one of our caravan tyres looking a little flat. It was t...

After multiple wake ups through the night thanks to the puppy, I was more than happy for the kids to get up and supervise her at 730 am!

After another cup of coffee and a few games of Gubs we finally got down to some schoolwork. We did an hour or so of Maths th...

By 830 am coffee finally got us out of bed but it seemed too quiet outside to use the generator. We postponed it until 9 and then could wait no longer. It was a magical morning so we took a very long time over breakfast and finally got dow...

Tally slept through the night for the first time and so it was much easier getting up with her at 6am even though our car park was covered in mist. We sat and watched the sun rise together before Anna and Matty came out to join us. It wasn't long before Katharine and Jonny were up too so while they entertained the dog I had a shower then drove to the Laundromat to do a final load of washing before heading off into the country again. On the way home I picked ...
