No more madness

Its the last week of school and I've just realised that I am really missing the usual madness that happens around now.  F+T are in Secondary school now and there are no Carols by Candlelight nor Nativity plays to attend to watch my little people with tea towels on their heads or such like.
Its very sad and I hadn't realised it would all come to such an end.
Boo.

Long shadows on Dunwich beach

Last weekend we took off with friends for a weekend by the sea in Dunwich. It doesn't matter what time of year - I just love being by the sea. There wasn't much lingering to be done along the beach, you had to keep moving to keep warm and keep scanning the beach for good finds. Then return for mugs of hot chocolate and lunches at the pub. 

Shopping trips to Southwold and walks along the very windy pier, we bobbed in and out of shops to keep warm (good excuse!) and the children had fun playing the many unique games at Under the Pier Show.  Tired but happy after all the walking and sea air we had tea on our knees watching Strictly while shouting/screaming/whooping! 
It was heavenly and should be done more often.
