Schools out for summer...

Its taken some time, some sleep, sunshine and perhaps a glass or two of wine, but I finally feel like the last term is behind me and I can finally put my holiday head on - Hurrah! The first few days of the summer holidays are usually spent attempting to scale the cleaning mountain that has been allowed to build up on the last few weeks of term and taming the garden that was so meticulously planned back in January and which has gone wild in the few weeks when I take my eye off the ball. But today all that changed and we took a trip to the beach....just sandcastles, ice lollies and sunsunsun...today we could have been anywhere in the world, we just happened to be in Yorkshire...



We have so many wonderful beaches here, we really are spoilt for choice. Today we visited Hunmanby Gap where there are tremendous views of Bempton Cliffs. Its a great clean beach where we can always find a good spot, no matter how busy it is...and its got great sand for digging in...



So now the summer plan goes like this - beach, garden, odd day out...no work, absolutely no work! I do intend to take a break from my hectic garden and beach schedule to blog, cook and have a week in the South of France (do you like how I just dropped that in as though I'm not beside myself with excitement, which I totally I am), but the golden rule is...no work, just mum time...see, I feel better already...

    Enjoy your summer break , lots of walks on the beach collecting bits and bobs. We're still in winter mode here and freezing most mornings. Having trouble leaving comments!

    This post makes me homesick for the beach. I used to be "California girl" and now I am landlocked in Colorado. Gotta get back to the sea.
    Enjoy your summer....it sounds blissful!

    I too, used to be a California girl, now the few months we have of warm weather, I work in the garden every moment I can. Gain weight in the winter, lose weight in the summer. I must not gain this winter! we are planning a trip to a beach in Mexico while the snow covers my Dakota Garden.
