Last night I went for a walk to have a better look at the sunset and a bit of a nose at the other cottages and houses.
It was quite chilly, so once we put the kids to bed, we built a fire. There was a lot of smoke puthering from our chimney but it soon warmed us up. We moved the sofa closer and toasted our toes.
Oooooooohhhhh lovely
The weather was cool and cloudy with lots of rain forecast this morning and we decided today was the day to go to the cinema. Huffle and I had a lie-in but were still tired most of the day. After breakfast and a slowish start we ventured out to Southampton where we picked up some pastries and drove on to Owen Sound for the cinema. We were a bit early so hat trying on was the order of the day. We watched Despicable Me2. The boys loved it. It was very funny.
When we came out the sun was out and we headed to a waterfall we went to last year but because they hadn't had rain for ages (last year obviously not this bloomin' rainy year) it was dry.
The walk to the falls took us through a forest, along a stream, over a bridge and then we were there. Last year we walked across it, this year it was falling well and Huffle wouldn't let us go too near to the edge.
The boys climbed rocks, fell off rocks, ran in mud, slipped in mud, ran around with sticks and cracked a few rocks. The rocks and trees reminded Huffle and I of Hobbit Land.
We were all hungry and had missed a meal somewhere so we headed back to Southampton for fish and chips. As the sun was still out, we drove back to our house and went straight on to the beach. It was practically empty (well it was 6pm). We set up a couple of chairs, watched the kids bravely go in the lake and played football and catch. Huffle and I collected wood for the fire later.
The kids had a good run around and we went in for showers in the eggy water back in our house. For some reason the hot water smells of rotten eggs. This morning I washed my hair (eggy hair) and so far we have avoided using the shower because of the smell. It is so bad that Smallest stood in the shower this evening, saying "I don't want to wash my hair in case eggs come out!". We have emailed the owner to see if we can do anything. It is really really bad.
Once the boys had had their eggy showers, I made a fire with our beach wood, the kids watched TV and then went to bed.
