Nice end to the holidays

Saturday
Matt had to work on Saturday so Tom and I took the opportunity to go to see Lynne and Matthew - they are always inviting us around and we are always saying no!  Tom and Matthew played well, so Lynne and I gossiped.  She's a good gossip and slightly nuts so always a good conversation!

We left around 1 and then went to Ireby for lunch - smoked salmon sandwich for Tom and goats' cheese tart for me - yumsk.  We then headed to Kirkby to do some shopping and then back home.  The afternoon was spent at the pump track, Tom going round and round and round.  He's got a lot better - stands up on the pedals now and can do the adult bit without any bother.  He's also beginning to clear some air under his front wheel when he goes around.

As we didn't go out for tea yesterday, we decided to do so today, so went to the Indian restaurant in the village.  A nice evening.  Then back home for bed.

Sunday

Tongue out for concentration

After a sunny outside breakfast, Tom went for his cricket practise in the morning, we then went to Inglesport for lunch.  Matt was playing cricket and I decided that as it was so nice we would go to the swimming pool in the afternoon (am fed up of the pump track).  I was hoping we would bump into people so I wouldn't have to get in the pool with Tom - not so much fun during the afternoon session as basically I just get splashed for the whole session.   We were in luck, Ruby Faraday was there, she's in the class below Tom and often can be found chasing him around the playground.  She was there with her older sister, but decided quite early on that it would be more fun to play with Tom - phew!  They played really nicely together, jumping in, going under water etc etc.  Then Evie turned up and joined in the fun and then Annabel Holman turned up.  Fantastic, I had mumsie chat on the terraces in the sun, tanning nicely whilst the children played.  How lovely, we stayed until we got asked to leave!  A very lovely way to spend the last afternoon of the holidays.

So, that was the end of the holidays - and what a fab week it was.  We did loads, had fun and had A LOT of sun.  I look like I've been to the med for a week - who'd have thought it of Yorkshire!
