It seems again that the summer holidays have flown by and we are all reluctantly facing the prospect of early mornings, homework and strict routines again very soon. Despite my renewed goals, I haven't found much time for blogging this summer - possibly because we had a PC malfunction and had to splash out on a new one! But also because I have been so busy trying to catch up with the things I planned to do like sort out the thousand photos into a scrapbooking album - only 5 years to go until I am up to date!! And I really wanted to finish my daughter's quilt which was for her 13th birthday but this autumn she will be 14 and sadly the quilt is still not finished! (I do dilly dally sometimes over simple decisions!!) I will have it finished!

We have also done some fun stuff too. The Olympics was a massive highlight for our family - we were glued for a fortnight to the action. We had tickets for the Millennium stadium and lucky for us we managed to see the Men's GB team, despite losing on penalties (AGAIN!!) we all had an enjoyable

time. Although trying to get out of Cardiff with 70,000 other people was a bit tricky!

We did our annual camping trip too, this time we decided on Cornwall. What a lovely part of the country that is. AND this time it didn't rain (much!) We were very lucky with the weather. 

We all came back with a hint of bronze about us and happy memories!

hmmm like I said, the Olympics had an effect!

Well our summer draws to an end, even though it hasn't felt like much of a summer again but I look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead of us. For it looks like there will be many!

Till the next time.
