Whoops!

Well have forgotten to write for two weeks! Here goes one BIG blog!

Firstly, lets revisit some goal setting...

1. Take more photographs.

2. Lose some weight.

3. Exercise regularly.

4. Do more as a family

5. Get organised at work.

1. Have purchased two second hand Canon cameras from eBay for Me & Susan and have been snapping for England, so sort of tick that one off.... Done!

2. Now about the weight thing, forgot to log my weight in the beginning and probably haven't been very good recently, so we'll start again with that one and monitor it regularly from now on.

4. Lots of focus here and we have done loads of things together and to top it all, after camping with 4 children last weekend, we've decided to borrow some money (if anyone's got any to lend!) and buy a motorhome, pack it up and get away every other weekend at least. It dawned on me that we live in one of the best places in the country and you don't need to go far to have a good time away. Certainly can't afford to fly anywhere anymore.

5. Getting there at work with Briony making a huge difference. Business is still busy and long may it continue.

Yes, I know i've ignored 3! Sort of goes with 2 so not a lot to report there :-s

20th July - Kimmeridge & Swanage

Sunday 20th July was forecast to be lovely and I hoped to get some day tickets for Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle. Sadly they all sold out before I got round to it. So off to Kimmeridge for a picnic and a bit of rock pooling then to Swanage for tea and an unplanned whizz, I mean 'chug' around the bay in a rented motor boat. We all looked very wind sweeped and interesting when we tried to return to the pontoon, but embarrassingly, we stalled the engine and couldn't start it again, so had to be rescued! Had a nice pub meal and then home.

Swanage:

To say Lucy is a nutcase would be an understatement, she always makes us laugh. Everynight when I go to bed, I take Lucy for a midnight tinkle and this is what greeted me that night. The flash has brightened it up unfortunately as the effect of the red glow across the eye mask frightened the life out of me! :-)
