Nearing the end of the summer....

August bank holiday is looming and in typical British fashion the weather forecast is shocking for the rest of the weekend, so indoor activities it is. With the girls going back to school next week we made the most of the last of the sunshine and ate in the garden with Granny and Grandpa, popped over to the summer fair on the park (the girls described the harness trampolines as having a giant wedgee!) and relaxed for a cup of tea in the garden. This may not sound that exciting or even news worthy, but it has been a lovely family day today. Anna and I followed up our trip to Carrow Road last night for the Under 21's game, with a marathon game of cards this morning supping coffee outside the bistro. She was great company, very chatty but definitely did not respond well to her father kicking her backside! Slight looser strop ensued! I always come back to the fact that I get so much pleasure as a father in spending time with the girls doing the simple things rather than great big expensive days out. In the last couple of weeks I have been grafting and this has been rare. So we will enjoy the rain this weekend and each others company in celebrating the end of the summer. Under a week to go and Anna is going to junior school. Where did that go!
