Tearoom 35: Sun, sea and sand...

989 replies

beanandspud · 27/01/2013 20:33

This breathtakingly beautiful island has unspoilt powdery white sand beaches, crystalline turquoise waters that wash over pristine coral reefs, and verdant green rainforest.

Scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking and sailing trips are available and you can discover the island's charms on foot (with or without Mellors the guide) by mountain bike or private island buggy.

For those in need of pampering the spa offers a selection of luxurious treatments to soothe and heal both body and soul.

For dining, enjoy a freshly prepared meal at the tearoom, a picnic on the beach, or a delicious dinner in the oceanfront restaurant with its stunning sea views. There is , and good company, everybody is welcome.

Gah indeed!!! I loathe pink eye. ((((((HUGS)))))) for speedy healing.

Scout19075 · 19/02/2013 21:04

Is it me or is MN worse this half-term break than previous ones?

mistlethrush · 19/02/2013 21:05

anyone? Long journey done.

Bike ordered - they recommended the 24" and said the 26" would require another 7 months approx....But there seems to be plenty of room to extend the 24" so that should be fine.

Mistlehound very pleased to see us - I think that she likes the attention she gets....

CMot's DS and mine managed to end up friends - they appear to be remarkably similar in character, so this was pretty good going!!! They both managed to get extremely muddy... but they'll wash....

Scout19075 · 21/02/2013 11:31

Gah, and so it begins, SmallBoy is becoming a boy -- he just announced "Mommy, I farted!" Seeing as it's not a word he would hear at home I can only guess he heard it at soft play yesterday.

anyone? I feel flat and need a pick me up but suspect it's too early to put SB to bed and start on the .

Scout19075 · 21/02/2013 11:35

That should be "SmallBoy is becoming a BigBoy."

Gah.

Scout19075 · 21/02/2013 11:55

Cooeee, Maud, look over here....

We have a Small Bean with a wobbly tooth .

I know it's only a tooth but strangely it feels like a big milestone. Am I being a bit soft that he's growing up too fast?

OP posts:

mistlethrush · 21/02/2013 19:27

MC was the first to lose a tooth in his class - in reception. Some of his year have only just lost the equivalent tooth - its very variable!

Scout19075 · 21/02/2013 20:24

bean, I'd say it's a milestone worthy of a wobble. (Ha!) Would a help?

Scout19075 · 22/02/2013 17:01

Definitely time here. Roll on bedtime (for SmallBoy)!

We're not long home from the swimming pool and he's begging for snacks forgetting about the oodles he ate at the pool while we were getting dried & dressed and I can't make his dinner cook any faster.

mistlethrush · 22/02/2013 17:22

Swimming always seems to make them very hungry...

DS was very disgruntled at having to go to sports camp for the day today. I'm not sure what he thought he was going to do all day if he didn't go.... We shall have to sort something more acceptable out for Easter and the summer hols!

Scout19075 · 22/02/2013 17:51

Oh yes, I know. He eats loads after half-an-hour lessons so I packed a full lunch for today. He's just wolfed a plate of pasta and is now having a dessert. I expect a plea for something else soon.

!!!

Swimming always makes Small Bean hungry although at the moment I struggle to fill him, he seems to be constantly hungry.

We have successfully survived/juggled/enjoyed half term - phew!

Scout19075 · 22/02/2013 22:21

Yay for half-term survival!

What's everyone up to this weekend?

beanandspud · 22/02/2013 22:30

Top up Scout?

We have quite a busy weekend, friends over tomorrow for my birthday 'celebration', swimming and party for Small Bean tomorrow and then Sunday will be a rush of getting uniform ready for Monday, reading school book, checking spellings etc...

What about the Scout troop?

OP posts:

Scout19075 · 22/02/2013 22:37

Ooooh, bean, when's your birthday?

Scout Troop is off to pub lunch on Sunday with friends the same friend's who's birthday party we went to at the beginning of the month. SB and their three year old are fast becoming friends and both talk about the other and have similar interests (trains!). But like typical three year old boys they fight then are off on the floor playing with trains/cars/trucks like they hadn't just been bashing each other. Not that they bash each other often but it does happen over trains/cars/trucks. As long as they don't use the toys to hit neither my friend or I stress about it too much-- as we know it's part of growing up.

beanandspud · 22/02/2013 23:07

Birthday is tomorrow, another year passed and all that...

I recognise the trains scenario as we have similar with Small Bean and one of his friends! The collapsing bridge and resulting major train disasters are a regular emergency here!

Scout19075 · 22/02/2013 23:40

Happy Birthday, Bean! (gets in there early)

When we went to buy a birthday present SB choose an engine that he has for G because he loves it so thought G would like it, too. Turns out G loves it almost as much as SB whew, what a relief.

mistlethrush · 24/02/2013 09:57

Late Happy Birthday!

We've had MiL staying so on-line time limited!. DH has had gastric flu.... All go in our house!!!

UniS · 25/02/2013 21:30

Happy Bathday bean.

and and for you to get

I was off line in Cornwall last week. MiL would have a hissy fit if I had been on line on a a phone when I could have been "sociable". Thankfully knitting IS socially acceptable. so I knitted a lot .

mistlethrush · 25/02/2013 22:50

Unis. I ended up going to bed VERY early on Sat pm!

I'm on the tonight as it appears to be easy my stomach ache.... I don't know why I have it - very unusual....

Scout19075 · 26/02/2013 10:09

SmallBoy is unwell. Seems to be a lot of it in the three-year old set (of my FB friends). Know how I know he's unwell? He didn't even want to hold/play with a train in bed this morning. He's asleep again, cuddled up next to me on my bed. I dare not move (earlier this morning he fell asleep and I got off the bed to get drinks he woke up). Sick bucket at the ready but I think sleep is what he needs.

mistlethrush · 26/02/2013 10:38

I hope he's feeling better soon Scout - he must be ill if he's not interested in a train!

None of us have been fully fit over the weekend, and DS is still somewhat under the weather - didn't help having a nightmare last night and he woke up tired and grumpy this morning.

Bike in box in hall, awaiting assembly!

UniS · 26/02/2013 21:30

bike in uncles garage, waiting visit from boy on birthday weekend.... I won't be there but expect uncle will take a photo of boys face.

Boy is having an Islabike Beinn 24 inch .
