Here we are back from some summer holidays. We did a lot.

Here’s the quick summary to keep you all up to date:

  • A week in Devon at the family friendly Buddhafields retreat that we go to every year. Camping. Rain, floods and mud.
  • A week working with at the Green Man Festival being roadies for the DNA puppet folk and their cabaret tent. Rain, mud, lifting heavy things. Folk music. Excellent. Another week in wellies, so wearing them now feels normal.
  • A couple of days with family in Somerset.
  • A couple of days back in Brighton doing the washing and trying to get it dry.
  • Ten days in France (ah, the weather) in Giverny and canal boating in the Loire.

And after doing all that, it is really nice to be back to normal life. Bea has just started at Junior School, something she’s been excited about all summer.
