A few more holiday shots

Just to show you that our week at the beach wasn't all sand and surf, here are a few more holiday shots. To show that we did spend our time wisely and productively. We finished a really hard jigsaw.



That house was a struggle. And the trees were nearly impossible. But we defeated it!!!!! The beach house where we stay is pretty basic, and doesn't have a dishwasher. This is number two son quite bemused by the whole idea of a scrubbing brush and dishwashing liquid. The boys were (mostly) in charge of the dishes and they could not believe it had to be done three times a day, and moaned a lot about the outrageous burden of it all.

And we went out one evening for fish and chips by the river. Delicious fresh fish and a lovely setting, but that doesn't stop this child burying his nose in a book. We normally have a restaurant rule that when the food is on the table the books are off it, but hey. It's a holiday...
