Somebody turned the heating off!

The month of August has decided to behave like November and with howling wind, rain and quite chilly temperatures, the girls summer holidays have become the indoor equivalent of a winter break. Anna had locked down in her room and is playing endless 'Fortnight' with the expressed purpose of working her way through enough levels to gain the 'Groot' skin. One very excited young lady! I have to agree with her and have quite a soft spot for Marvel's Groot! Lucy is hunkered down under her duvet fully dressed trying to warm up with the occasional teenage grunt of conversation coming distantly through the door. Why we expected anything less for the upcoming bank holiday weekend I do not know, with another storm and weather warning in place! 😩There were calls in the Hammond house last night to put the heating on. Being the tight bastard I am, I asked that hoodies and extra blankets were used! We continue our rehabilitation back into the big wide world tomorrow with our first family meal out in a restaurant since February and lock down began. Really excited. A little bit of 'normal' on the horizon 😊 It is a simple thing, going out to eat with your family and one we have taken for granted up to now. Life has truly changed..
