We made it.
It’s been quite a big, long year for both children but we finally made it to the school holidays!
The last few weeks of term were busy with meetings about next year, class parties, non-uniform days and forms and slips to be signed and taken back to school.
Does anyone else sometimes feel that there’s a slightly manic atmosphere at the end of the school year, with so much for us parents to keep track of and remember?!
We made it though, and had a pretty quiet weekend which we all needed.
Sunday started off a bit grey but by the time Rhys had finished his swimming lesson pretty much all the cloud had vanished and left behind a gorgeous sunny day.
So we made the most of it with another little trip to the beach.
There was quite a strong breeze down by the sea but the children still ran straight out into the water for a swim. I’d taken the camera with me, hoping to get a family photo for the me and mine project, so stayed on the sand watching the others splash about.
I have vowed though that one day soon I will leave the camera at home and go for a good swim in the sea myself. The fact that I can’t remember the last time I did it is surely a sign that I should do it sooner rather than later!
Does anyone else swim in the sea in the UK or is it something you only really do when you go abroad?
When we were in Newquay a couple of weeks ago Amélie persuaded me to go far out in the sea with her and jump the waves. I can honestly say it was the most fun I have had in ages. Brought back fond memories of holidays and made me feel alive! I had a huge smile on my face and was bery grateful to Amélie for persuading me!
I swim in the sea in Portugal and its super cold (atlantic ocean) but I love it. Hope you have a gorgeous holiday #livingarrows
The end of the school year gets worse as each year goes by. Manic is definitely the right was to describe it – and the lead up to Christmas is much the same from memory! x
I only ever paddle in the sea and normally abroad! Although with the weather we have been having! You must be made of stronger stuff than me :). Hope you have Baby a trip to the beach over the Summer holidays x
It was ridiculous how crazy busy it was at the end of term. I was worried I was going to drop a few balls! x
We were very glad to start the holidays too – Rhys looks like he was very happy to be finishing school. I love his grin with all his missing teeth – Toby just got his first wobbly one today! #LivingArrows
Yayyy to the school holidays! It’s so much more relaxed isn’t it when you don’t have to rush out the door each morning for the school run! #LivingArrows
