I hope you have had a lovely week too......................enjoy the one to come!
I bet you've been glad of the outdoor pool in this weather, I wish there was one near where I live, I could do with a nice way to cool down like that.
ReplyDeleteI love family film nights. And so thankful for the rain over here too.
ReplyDeleteBestival? Whatever it is, I hope you do enjoy it. We've been enjoying the little outdoor pool in a nearby town, run by volunteers, it's a wonderful place on a hot afternoon.
ReplyDeleteBestival, that might be fun :) No this is an International Scout Camp!
Deletewe've had several family film nights recently, introducing the children to the classics of our youth. is it Kanderstag you are going to? two of my children's friends are going, I wouldn't let my son go.... . too far, too long on a coach, too much £, too stressful for his mother to be wondering what he would be doing........
ReplyDeleteThe Little House shawl is one of my favourites and makes a great wrap for wee bridesmaids ... I'll look forward to seeing yours finished.
