Woken up just before 5am by Matty who decided he didn't want to sleep anymore and so started watching a movie!! Put him back to bed, much to his disgust, and then fell back to sleep until after 8am by which time it was difficult to drag myself out of bed. Had coffee watching the waves and a number of campers pack up - Monday is move on day! I had a shower and then did some reading with both boys before Katharine and I headed into town for a hair cut. I wasn...

Happy Mother's Day!! Woken up by the kids who all climbed into our bed and gave me lots of wrapped up presents - shells, stones and books they had made. Matty had also wrapped up most of his toys (broken) and books for me to have and was quite offended when he found them back in his own bag later on! Nick gave me a bottle of sticky and made us all pancakes for breakfast. The kids went on to have endless bowls of cereal and toast and it was mid morning by th...

Woke up to a beautiful morning and had an even better view of the beach as a small campervan had moved on. While having our first cup of coffee Nick spotted a pod of dolphins playing in the bay - always a good start to any day! After breakfast we got ready to walk the beach and head into town but got chatting to our neighbours instead and an hour later we were still talking and the kids were getting restless. We walked the beach and searched the rock pools the...

Woken up by Anna having a hissy fit with Katharine - and Anna won!! Another beautiful sunny day so had coffee watching the waves and then Nick made everyone breakfast while I had a shower. We started the day with a walk on the beach, climbing over the rock pools where we found a large sea slug. The kids wanted a quick play at the park on the way home and then it was back to the van to start schoolwork. It was a very slow day with the books but we were all e...

Woke up several times over night as the kids had wriggled out of their sleeping bags and were cold. Instead of pulling their covers back up they rocked and groaned until I got up to do it for them!! In return, I slept in until 830am and then Nick and I sat outside and had a coffee while watching the surfers tackle the waves in front of us. We decided to walk the beach before breakfast as the tide was out and the rock pools all exposed. We all had a lovely tim...
