We're half way through the summer holidays...

...and have managed to have a lovely time despite the weather and being on a budget, I think just for being in Hastings. We've had a pirate day, and a lovely Carnival topped off with a free firework display this weekend. We've also been to Chessington, which was great, on 2 for 1 vouchers. Particularly keen on the chimpanzees there, although the children were more taken with the rides, and the pizza for tea.

And this week promises just a few days before we go on holiday. We're off camping in the middle of France - the Isle de Re to be precise for a week. I feel slightly 'of the moment' as a possibly (to be discussed at a later date) middle class family off for a week or two of camping in France. I think nearly everyone I know will be doing it this year.

Oh, and we just might try out the Hop Farm tomorrow despite being quite pricey it seems like it may be fun, and if not worth poking a bit of fun at the olden days.

Yeah, we've been trying to get to France in our camper but things keep getting in the way. Like students, decorating, deaths in family and D moving house (again). Now we're hoping to make the first week in September - if the van survives an imminent trip to the West country with D and his teenagers. It seems to keep eating money! But I was chuffed that I managed to fix the mains hook-up myself with out having to take it to a garage and be relieved of large sums of money.
It's actually what we bought it for, so we could have a scout at property over there, but it all still seems a bit of a dream at the moment.
Hope you have a good trip and post some piccies for us to envy...
