Last day of the holidays

Ah last day of the summer hols. It's a horrible feeling. I always enjoy my time with the girls but this year has been particularly good due to the great weather. We've travelled miles, visited oodles of friends, tried lots of new things and been creative when we could. It's been an absolute blast.

Today was spent painting faces, packing lunches, removing tattoo transfers and nail varnish.

E has made a big poster to protest about the proposed plans to build a dual carriageway through our horsey paddocks on our walk to school. We tied it to a lamppost this afternoon with string & twigs which was very green of us I think. I hope it's still there at least until the morning so she can have a sense of being a "doer" just for one day. It's nice that she cares so much about something but a bit sad that I fear the deal with the council has already been done.

First night back at gym for a couple of weeks. Jelly legs!

Off to set that b@stard irritating alarm clock now. (Not referring to L on this occasion
