A September holiday


 Very hard getting the balance- I know I am never happy! The flip side of going on holiday as everyone else goes back to school is that we miss all of the 'going back 'to the various activities- and thus all the letters and information sometimes too...
However a late summer holiday, with glorious weather, in Yorkshire cannot be sniffed at- especially when it involves fish and chips on the promenade in Filey- quite curious and vey unspoilt vintage place- lovely pleasure gardens and band stand etc- and better still free parking for a Motorhome!! A lovely day out at Bempton Cliffs where we saw thousands of gannets encoraging their fledgelings to fly and where the lovely RSPB staff were pleasantly surprised to have interested children sorting through their feather collections as well as borrowing the backpacks and spotting kits. We were also very interested in the abandoned RAF Bempton site adjacent to the bird cliffs. A visit to Burnby Hall with friends on the way home- lots of fish feeding.
 FIs birthday present- lots of fun playing with colour options that she hadnt really though about before- love the 1920s headband too.
SJ and one of his complicated 'games' in the Motorhome- which involves using all the pieces of the games compendium that we have in there to turn into a huge Narnia battle....definately has rules that only he understands- any other mere mortal can never hope to comprehend...
Otherwise lots of scootering and making friends- quite some cross stitch for me and finished a few books -which was wonderful!
