Our summer holiday was very wet. Again this year we opted for camping in the UK. We were going down to Cornwall, but the weather forecast was so pessimistic we went over to Norfolk instead.
I recommend Scratby Hall as a lovely campsite.
We spent most of the remainder of the summer at home. Our allotment has been mainly successful, lots of peas, beans and potatoes. The difficulty at the moment is keeping up with all the picking. We've made mead and runner bean wine, so far. Methinks that beetroot wine might be next on the menu.
Nanny was 70 in August so we went to her party.
Then Emily and Rich popped down to Kent to see the other Nanny. They took advantage of the abundance of Romans in Kent and went to visit a Roman villa to round off our studies on that time period.
Waiting on exam results and University places has played a large part in the last few months. Happily both James and Kate passed their courses and have been accepted into their first choice universities. A bit of a struggle to sort out accommodation, but now its all packing and waiting for them to go. Very mixed emotions about the whole thing, especially as they are both moving so far away. I never had twins, I never expected them both to leave in the same week!
Rich has now returned to work in that way that teachers do this time of year, and Emily and I are beginning a whole new year of work and play.
