Well I suppose it's fitting that today's photo is of the beautiful boy who kept us up all night crying, cross because he wasn't given a feed overnight. Honestly. After feeling so nauseated last night then getting maybe 4hrs of broken sleep - I was broken this morning! I finally fed him at 6:30, after which he went off to sleep as did I, most gratefully. Then of course Megsy woke for the day wanting breakfast. Managed to hold her off till 9:30 bless her. Beautifu...

Woke up to a bright but very windy day. Everyone seemed to have slept well, especially those in the attic! We all walked down through the campsite to the beachfront and sea in search of a playground (theme of our lives!). The site is quite large and stretches down a hill onto a flatter area edging the sea. Lots of huts, very nice and modern, but lovely spaces right on the beach for camping. Found a good playground next to a (closed) restaurant, outdoor pool and s...

What a miserable drizzly morning, in both weather and moods. J showed the girls how to play conkers in a break in the rain, which he enjoyed almost as much as them!

He wanted to get a few miles under our belt today so we set off. The bea...

It was looking spic and span, but when the 'cleaner' came she insisted that there was dirt and articles on the floor under the couches and by the bathroom. I was not impressed as the place was certainly in the same condition ...

We decided to do a bit of sightseeing this morning, then spend the afternoon swimming. The promised trade-off kept the kids going and happy this morning. We started with Gamla Uppsala (once we disregarded ms tomtom's request to park up in someone's front yard - a worryingly frequent occurrence!) which is the Old Uppsala, or original town site. Most famous are the burial mounds from the Viking age. There are 3 large mounds, and 250 other burial sites. 2 of the 3 m...
