The Chalk Pit

On our anniversary we took a trip to the chalk pit up on Ringstead downs. It's been made into a nature reserve and is a really lovely spot. There was climbing and playing and a follow the leader as Isaac took us on an adventure. 

It's oh so quiet. It's oh so still.

So the blog has been in hiatus for a while as the laptop was poorly (poor old thing is struggling with life). There's some catch up to do and hopefully a little more life in the old blog.

For our wedding anniversary each year we try to go away. In the early years of our marriage it was Paris and Amsterdam and lovely boutique hotels. This year we went to my mum's. Oh the glamour!

But hey there are beaches and the kids love being there. The dog loves it and it's a home from home.

On the way there we popped to the beach. The tide was out. It was rather muddy. The kids and the bear had a whale of a time.

The no beach beach.

We've been at my mum's and whilst it's been fairly sunny there's been an evil wind so we've not managed to get to the beach. There's a new outdoor play bit at Norfolk Lavender though so we spent a good couple of hours there yesterday playing in the big sand pit and on the trampolines and tractors. It was more of a hit than the indoor play barn.

And when it's too cold even to do that there's always the indoor climbing frame - aka the stairs.

Better weather

We've had random hail and other cold weather but in between there have been some more spring-like days so we've been out and about.
