Here is the Tuesday evening update from Middleton cottage. I am watching a Bond film with Jake as he's discovered a stock of DVDs in the cottage library!
Today the weather has been somewhat mixed, showers from time to time, some of them quite heavy. Still it hasn't stopped a fair amount of garden badminton being played. Jake and my record is now up to a rally of 13 shots. Due to the weather we haven't had any major trips out, although Nicky and I did scoot over to Yarmouth for a little look around in the middle of the day.
Yesterday we (me. Nicky, Jake and Barley) went to Robin Hill. Barley thoroughly enjoyed herself, and by the time that we left she was worn out and actually keen to get back in the car so that she could lay down and go to sleep. We stopped off in Newport on the way back to collect some supplies for tea.
Our first full day, Sunday, had dawned bright and sunny and so me, Dad and John took Barley on a walk to the paper shop. Later we had a trip to Alum Bay, which was very windy - so much so that the chairlift wasn't running. Still we enjoyed some crazy golf, a go in the arcade, and filling up various containers with coloured sand!
Fingers crossed for some more sun tomorrow.
