Fuerteventura – hot and windy
We have been here two days now and it is hot but very windy – in fact dangerously windy because you don’t feel the heat 🙁
The boys are loving the pools of course although daddy is struggling with the volcano nature of the island – or the dirty black rock everywhere. The complex doesn’t have grass anywhere – instead the greens are decorated with lava rocks – and it looks dirty 🙁
The accommodation on the other hand is top class and the pools are probably the cleanest pools we have seen anywhere 🙂
The P20 has thus far failed us which is the first time that this has ever happened 🙁 we are wonder if the factor 30 P20 in spray dispensers is just plain crap – daddy, Elliot and Oliver have all burned today with this on, yet mummy has stayed perfectly white with the standard P20 in an ordinary dispenser….
Not a bad pool ? We were the only 6 in this pool for over an hour this afternoon and this is after having spent two hours at the water park this morning 🙂
Happy Birthday Auntie Jenny
We all wish you a super fun day xx
Kerrie and Spencer Wedding Weekend
We have just returned from a fantastic weekend celebrating the weeding of Kerrie and Spencer in the beautiful location of Temple Guiting in Gloucestershire – the happy couple rented the Temple Guiting Manor house and accompanying barns for their weekend of celebration. 30 people in all were there and we filled the place and seemingly drank and ate an AWFUL lot – the clean up took most of the morning on Sunday!!!
The beautiful church was a short 100 metre walk down the lane so everything was right there in easy reach for all of us and the sun was of course shining down on us all.
Back to the manor for some fizz and laughter along with photograph opportunities…
The location for the Wedding Lunch was simply stunning..
We are so pleased to have been involved in sharing the day wth Kerrie, Spencer and their wonderful friends and family.
Silcoates Juniors Sports Day
Today was the Silcoates Juniors Sports day with the Reception to Year 2 class being from 9:30 to 11:30 and years 3 to 6 from 13:30 to 15:20.
Both the boys were wearing the red shirts of Yonges and were as ready as they ever would be – Elliot complained on the walk in to school that we were walking too quickly… 🙁
Olly almost won his first race – he came second because he stopped to show daddy and Hugo how great he was…. Wonder where he gets that from…
He won his running race and came in fourth in the obstacle race.
The sun shone for almost all of the morning so shorts and t-shirts worked well for all.
The afternoon was slightly different – the track events were completed in cloudy circumstances where the t-shirt just about worked – Elliot managed second in the 100m running race behind Miss Box 🙂 Then came the 400m….
Elliot was about 165m behind the winner and apparently stopped midway round for a tactical vomit 😀 Daddy didn’t see it but found it hilarious when he was told about it – Elliot didn’t find this bit as funny as daddy….
Then came the field events, where Elliot did a 2m long jump (during this time Hugo actually cocked his leg and weed on daddy while he was trying to get a photo of Elliot mid-jump…. 🙁 ) and an 18m throw of a ball befor the HEAVENS OPENED including hail !!!! By the time daddy and Hugo got back to the car (they ran), daddy’s t shirt was stacked right through and he had water running down his underwear……
The rest of the events were abandoned and school was on at 14:50 🙂
