This Summertime...

...we've had a great holiday and lots of hot sunny days!

This is how we filled it.

First, at the beginning of July was our holiday to Butlins Skegness. I think Butlins has a bit of a stigma attached to it, but we had a great time there! I bought my first swimming costume since being at Primary school way way back in 1976! So a long time has passed, a lot of chocolate has been eaten... I was so worried about getting in a swimming costume after all these years, but I needn't had worried!

What a great time we had.

Me ready for a night out! In a dress!!!!

The amazing pool.

Me and my wonderful husband.

Matthew's confidence grew lots in the pool. This part is the rapids. Brilliant! Makes you feel like you're a really good swimmer.

Doughnut? We spent one day only in Skegness.

Me with my fabulous son.

My very sexy husband.

Knobbly knees competition?

 Inside the Skyline Pavillion, Matthew's favourite bit!

 Everyone loves the Merry-go-round.

 Me and the husband.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaaaaaaa...

Almost as good as the Chinese in the olympics.

The Big Top Circus that is there for the school holidays.

Beautiful nighttime shot with the Skyline Pavillion at the back. This is our walk home to our chalet.

 We've already booked up for next year, this time in August.

We've also had a few pool days at home as this summer, well July in particular was so hot! Too hot for us, but great for the pool.

 So after the pool day, a few nights later, Darryl came over with Elijah. This time Grandad (Justin) got chance to play with Elijah.

I love how cosy the conservatory looks at night. Justin looking at... well I don't know. Storm clouds maybe.
