Nothin' but net

We had some company on our run-out with Big Blue this morning.

My BIL had been abandoned by my sister and was looking to unite the families for a few hours, so we headed out with the intention of visiting Grange and Bardsea.

The tide was in again at Grange and it was a very chilly breeze which whipped off the sea. The wee ones all had a good scoot and skate though and m’boy and I enjoyed a kickabout on the 5aside court, which hereinafter will be known as the site of my official greatest achievement ever.

That’s right, from the spot where this photo was taken, I kicked the ball the length of the court and it went into the basket above the goal at the opposite end. The Harlem Globe Trotters have been informed and I hope to audition for them soon.

Following this we decamped back to the van and made our way to Bardsea, but unfortunately, there the weather turned, so we had a van picnic and - via an ill-conceived pitstop at Asda - went back to the BIL’s for tea and hot cross buns.

The wee ones were all playing so nicely together, that I was even able to carve out a 10-minute nap!

Lovely day, despite the horrific weather!
