Wet.,Wet ,Wet!!!




We are home from a wet and very windy west Wales...and I have again come to the conclusion that I am not a caravaner!!!! Very little sleep and howling winds do not make a very happy mummy-Phoebe could not sleep through the noise of the rain on the caravan roof (and there was lots of it every night),so she thought it was a good idea to wake me every few hours to tell me it was still raining.
Actually it was only really wet one day of the week, so we managed to get out and about every day-even if we had to start the day in the afternoon,after allowing the storm to pass over us.We visited Folly Farm, St.Davids,Saundersfoot, Tenby,Tenby Harbour,Broad Haven,the Blue Lagoon-the little mini did us really well as we didn't need to carry lots of beach bits around with us!!!! The beaches are truly beautiful and ,with a bit of sunshine,there really is no nicer place for a holiday, but it is so unpredictable in this country!! Phoebe was not at all worried by the rain during day light hours and went in the sea every day-William was not so hardy and much preferred to climb the rocks or build sand boats!!! Got loads of photos to scrap through the rest of the Summer holiday-just need to order some more photo paper and ink and I'll be well away!!

Thanks, Sarah!!!

...for the tag-took me hours to get it on my blog-and then Rob had to help me:) Will try to link to the originator of the "Rockin Girl Blogger" tag, but this could take a while too!!!

Need to tag some others-but think that is just too hard on my brain at the moment

Week gone quick!!!!






Phew, glad to see the back of that week-all gone quiet (touch wood) in school, concert over,and Parent's consultations finished:)The week just whizzed by though, so that is one benefit!!
Phoebe had her Sports Day on Monday and despite her moans, I think she quite enjoyed it-especially since her house won the overall cup:)But, horror of horror,I forgot my camera and so have no photos at all!!!! William was a little star as Doctor Evans calling on Miss Polly with her sick dolly-he even did all the actions for the rhyme with a huge grin on his face:)
July gallery is up on ATDML-super gorgeous Crate papers-the tags and bands that come with the paper are so useful-I love them:)
Be back tomorrow!!

Lots and lots happening at the moment-school is ending with a bang-we are having our annual run in with the LEA big wigs-and I don't think we have heard the end of this particular episode-I keep joking about getting sacked, but I am hoping it won't be a cruel joke that comes true!!! As a staff we have dared to question the service provided by certain LEA departments and this has not gone down well...but we really feel strongly about some of the new policies and we are becoming quite militant in our old age.If it ends with all our children getting what they are entitled to, then it will all be worth it (but I still have to pay my mortgage!!!)
Fete day on Saturday-Will turned into the cutest tiger ever-his Nursery report was so good-he has settled really well now-I think he will be ready for Reception in September.
Phoebe's report was excellent too-lots of waffle about things they have covered this year, but the personal comments made me so proud...she has really bloomed this year and become so much more confident.I love this photo of her-goofing around,with her bobble earings and cocky eyes, but still looking cute!!!!

Job Done!!

Reports completed and sat on Head's desk, ready for Monday morning...time for flip flops and sun hats...I am in holiday mode already!!! Still got another three weeks left, but this is the fun time of the year...teddy bear picnic on Tuesday, concerts and prize giving!!! We are doing an under fives concert again, but we forgot that there would be 13 three year olds in this concert that had not started when we did the Christmas concert...so we have a total of 71 under fives in one concert...all good fun though-especially when we all sing different words to the songs:) William is going to be the doctor who calls to Emily's Miss Polly -they are so cute during their parts-I cannot wait to see him in his costume!!
be back later
