Groovin on a Sunday afternoon....

A perfect Sunday afternoon - summer sunshine, a fine picnic, great company and a paddle in the river to cool down. The theme of the weekend for the family Hammond was sunshine and food. Two barbecues knocked off with our neighbours Libby and Ben, followed by a sneaky one this evening as well. Oh and did I mention the time honoured tradition the excessive consumption of ice cream.  As my work life balance is slowly restored I am enjoying more and more these lovely days out with the girls without interruption, it was a joy to kick back in the shade and watch them play in the river. Really looking forward return trip to Cornwall this year now where the focus will be well and truly on a family holiday, not fitting my family in with work. The weekend was not without its trials as tempers sometimes frayed in the heat - me very much included in this and the girls battled for the title of who could be the grumpiest on Saturday and on this occasion the winner was Anna by a country mile! She does know how to press her Daddy's buttons, she not stupid that one you know....
