And we are home...

The recent lack of blog posts have been for good reason. We have been on holiday. I proper family holiday in Lanzarote with priorities being sit down, relax, swim, build sandcastle: repeat. 

Although there are many things/ photos of our trip to blog about - while we are still doing washing and sorting ourselves out for returning to to work here are a couple of the things we mainly did...

Drank juice by the pool

Played at the park

Ate all you can eat breakfast

Built sandcastles

Relaxed


Tried to empty the pool of all it's water

Gave kisses and said nank you

Della hasn't been sleeping well lately, and has occasionally come in for a snuggle

Della can't get enough of 6 dinner Sid. One read through is never enough!

Lambsy in contemplative mood

Bank holiday Monday at the beach

So, on bank holiday monday the sun was shining and we decided to head to the beach. Bridlington was our East coast choice and here are numerous photos from our day in the sun... 

enjoying the views over the early morning beachscape


We went on a pirate ship. It was the best £1 spent of the day - 15 minutes out at sea and Della loved it!


Massive cone



I said the pirate ship was the best thing of the day, I was wrong - this bus made Della very happy! The video shows how much fun she had driving her bus... 




Then it was my time to take a ride... 


Not being used to applying sun cream - Della gets plastered!

Water chilly Daddy










Mini milk - amazing!

99 ice cream cone - amazing!

The happiest girl at the beach

Football crazy...

We promise to blog this weekend about all our goings on - it has been a very busy few weeks. In the meantime here is a blog post I wrote about 6 weeks ago but never published...

Della controls out lives in many ways now, not least telling Simon to put his football boots on, on a Sunday night. Football is a word she says lots, in this video she refuses to say, typical toddler.

Della sings about sheep

Della did a little singing for us the other day - a more or less complete 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'
