Yet another lie in despite the fact that Matty woke everyone up at 530am with his rocking and groaning because his sleeping bag had fallen off and he was cold! We eventually got up around 830am and after a quick breakfast the kids shot off to play and found some new friends who'd arrived late last night. Nick and I did some cleaning around the van but the weather was so beautiful that we dragged the kids away and went to Angourie, a sleepy little village on t...

We all had a sleep in this morning, staying in bed until after 830am! After breakfast the plan was to start schoolwork but as the sun was shining that soon got vetoed and we drove into Yamba for a long walk along the foreshore instead! We've decided to have this week off as school holidays to recuperate from gastro properly!!

OMG, what a night! Poor Matty woke up just after midnight with gastro and vomited all over the double bed, narrowly missing Jonny who was still fast asleep. It took a while to clean everything up and as the laundry wasn't locked Nick and I sat up with a hot chocolate while all the bedding was in the wash.
