Hi Fear, welcome back. I remember you being here before but not much about your circumstances, hope lockdown hasn’t been too awful to you.
Good luck to the exam kids tomorrow. When do you find out - I presume there’s an email or a login or something? Not going to school to collect a bit of paper with dot matrix printing on, like in my day 😉
I did not expect Wales to feel tropical Mrs but it is chuffing boiling - not just hot but humid. Mind, my washing also dried in an hour! I’m not missing the miserable air quality of London in the heat though.
It was supposed to be rain and storms all day today (according to the BBC 🙄). We went for a walk along a cliff top and to see some castle ruins, armed with waterproofs etc. Expecting to get wet, but then it turned bloody scorching! Amazing views but quite a hard walk. I had to give my water to the Dcs and was almost dead by the time we got back to civilisation (ie a shop). DH had rather misjudged the distance and difficulty of the walk - my mum was really anxious about whether she could get up some of the steep sandy inclines and I was really worried the DC would burn as I didn’t take sun cream! And we almost got trampled by some very fast moving free range cows, especially one that fell down an incline and almost landed on us while we Picnicked (seriously, it fell off a small ‘cliff’ above us, where we were sheltering for shade, and landed about 2m away, I nearly had a heart attack). We all survived though. And Dd did Amazingly well for a just turned 3-year old. Not sure how far in miles but she walked 11k steps up and down hills in the boiling sun without any complaint. Slowly, but not a single moan. DS was great too.
£5 parking, annoying as we didn’t have our NT cards with us, and then DH bought some more bottled water. No idea what he spent but other than that, no spend. We’re well cheap on holiday thanks to avoiding crowded places with DS! as long as I don’t dwell too much on the £250 Ocado order
I also picked a nice haul of blackberries again. I think I might need to make a holiday crumble if we have a rainy day at home.
I am pleasantly knackered now and feel so much happier now I’ve washed the dust and sweat off - I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed my shower when we got back to the holiday house! Chilli Con carne for dinner, made it the other day when we were rained in. So no actual cooking, yay.
Might be stuck in tomorrow if the forecast is to be believed, but I’m not banking on it. Would love a storm to clear the air though 🤞🏻
