Fresh flowers

Arrived at the cottage we are in for a week with no problems.  The eldest had us up before the alarm (as usual at the moment), and everything went very smoothly. 

The cottage is lovely and there are lots of vases of flowers, I think one in pretty much every room - all from the garden.  Such a lovely touch.  

Found the local super market, two totally unimpressed children when they were told they had to go back in the car to again to get there.  Need to go back tomorrow to get all the things I forgot to get today (plus the things I ran out of energy to find in a strange supermarket). 

Boys were utterly shattered by bed time, we'll be following them to bed as soon as we can.
