We are coming to the end of our two week summer holiday at the caravan. It is the longest stretch we get all year so I'm a bit sad. But it has been really enjoyable. Most of the days have been gloriously sunny and we have been out and about so we are nicely tanned. We did have two days of non-stop rain in the middle but that was just to remind us that we are still indeed in the UK! But we were ok because we have *cagoules and scrabble! As usual we have eaten too much, drank too much and spent too much money :) But then that is what holidays are for. We have walked miles and miles in wonderful scenery and every morning we have been swimming. We've read, shopped and done no cooking what-so-ever instead we have eaten picnic or pub lunches or chips with scraps and lots of salt and vinegar, followed by ice cream cones. Why can't this be my life all the time? Wouldn't it be fab!
Oh well back to reality (and the diet!) on Monday! At least I still have 3 weeks off work even if I do have a ridiculously long 'to do' list to crack on with. And I better add some crafting to it seeing as I've bought lots of paper crafting materials and fabric etc.
Photos all taken in Scarborough. The last one is where we parked, right next to the hotel which was used as the outside of the hospital in the ITV TV series 'The Royal'
* OMG cagoules bring back so many cringey memories from my childhood. My parents, my brother and I all had matching red ones duringthe 70s. I must have been around 8 or 9. How bloody embarrassing. I remember wearing them at Butlins in Filey and other family days out. How could my parents do this to us. Traumatic!

Hi Lazylol...Thanks for visiting my blog. I have really enjoyed looking at your holiday photos and reading what you have been up to...I had to reply to agree with you about Bea(BB). I also really liked her when she first came in and bonded with Freddie. They seemed such a perfect hippy couple. He is rather annoying but he has a good heart and is a genuine guy. Now she has turned into a Viper. Slagging everyone off and when Marcus basically said 'Give it a rest' she burst into tears and said he was bullying her.
I think you have to be a nutter to go on BB!
Hope you have a good trip home and lets see some crafting..lady!!!

Hi Angie, that holiday feeling is so lovely isn't it, but I guess if we lived like that always we'd only get bored! And at least you've still got some time at home to potter and catch up on all those jobs, just make sure you do some nice stuff too. I've got another 10 days or so and haven't really tackled my to do list yet so must focus next week. Enjoy the summer hols.

Hi Angie - love your pictures of Scarborough - it looks great in the sun. I love cagoules. I have a selection!!! They are the only items of clothing I can buy with confidence!! I too want to be on holiday all of the time - I would never get bored.

How on earth did you manage to get such good weather?!?!?! It's amazing what a difference 100 miles makes- Newcastle hasn't seen so much as a hint of sunshine :-(
Glad to hear you're a fan of Bettys too!

I can't wait to catch up!

A dress is like a barbed fence. It protects the premises without restricting the view.
