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 🙂

Wow, it is Easter already – 2016 is quickly slipping away…

On Good Friday we went over to Nostell Priory for an Easter Egg hunt and to take Hugo for a nice long walk. It was a beautiful day so Daddy ended up walking Hugo since he (Hugo) was not allowed in the gardens where the egg hunt was on. Accordingly they managed about 3.5 to 4 miles before calling it and the kids just about managed to do the egg hunt – accordingly the map reading was too much for Mummy and Auntie Clare…

Sadly it was a little miserable weather wise on Saturday so we are all hoping that it is nicer again today – although the forecast does not look great sadly 🙁

We managed a walk with Hugo over at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park today and managed to get it in befor the downpour that took place just 30 or so minutes later 🙂

Fingers crossed it will be OK for a walk to down to Grandmas later today…

This afternoon we have booked a weeks holiday in Scotland – in Sandyhills 🙂

We used to go for weeks every summer in the caravan until we started with the waterskiing in 1988 so this is going to be a nostalgic trip for daddy and Granny Cuckoo (who is also coming along as a small thanks for helping us out so much since daddy started his new job).

We are staying in the alpine lodges in the Bar End holiday village – we used to occasionally nip up to Bar End for bar meals on an evening.

To say it is exciting is an understatement – daddy just hopes that the boys like it as much as we all did all those years ago 🙂 when finalising the details over the phone, the lady who took the payment said that the area rally hadn’t changed much over the years so it is probably just the same 🙂

Looking forward to a cheeky apple crumble on the poop deck in the Mariner in Kipford 🙂
