Week 4 of the summer holidays and we're all still alive and well.

I have managed to keep them very busy, so there's not been much room for moaning about boredom. There is so much here to entertain them with over the holidays - concerts, plays, sports/ballet camps, activity days and catching up with friends. A long list.

We also spent a few days out in Oxfordshire, so Patrick could get back to the hotel early enough to see the kids before they slept we could meet him for lunch. It made a nice change.

This Saturday, we meet Grandma at Gatwick airport and jet off the the south of France for a couple of weeks. A well deserved and much needed break. Can't wait!!

I often take them to into the forest for a picnic dinner while the weather is nice. Eleanor was hunting for the Gruffalo.

I entered the photos below in a competition for my UK professional photographic association. I didn't win with it, but won an award for a photo I entered in another category of that competition. That makes 3 competition wins for me in the last 2 months!
