Katharine and Jonny were up through the night and so was the dog so neither Nick or I were keen to get up this morning. We read for a while in bed and only got up when the dog barked so much because she thought it was time for her breakfast. Pity for other campers made me get out of bed and feed her!! There was no more rain overnight so the kids went out to play while Nick topped the van up with water and I began to pack up. We were on the road by 9am and i...

At 430am when the dog woke up it was already warm and still and ideal for a walk however sleep was too enticing and I climbed back into bed and slept until 7am, by which time it was hot and stuffy in the van. We spent a couple of hours doing some school work after breakfast and the kids were great - much more focused so we were all finished by 11am.

It was another early start this morning as the dark cover I made for the skylight only lasted 15 minutes before it fell off!!

Another 430am wake up from the dog but at least this time she went back to sleep for a couple of hours and so we didn't get out of bed until nearly 7am. After breakfast the kids began schoolwork while I made a sticky date pudding and Nick filled the van up with water. Due to such an early start we were finished by 11 am and nobody was ready for lunch so we decided to have a long walk along the beach first. Despite the weather being cold and windy, walking th...
