Auntie Knows Best

A busy first week of the school summer holidays.

The kids spent the week at Outdoor Guernsey and they had a fantastic time – coasteering, nerf wars, archery, climbing etc.

Even better it was The Little Miss’ 9th birthday and it was on Friday which meant she had a brilliant time at Outdoor Guernsey. I had made a couple of massive chocolate cakes for them all and she had a great time. We had a few friends and family over and had pizza for tea. We are lucky to have such a fabulous daughter although she is definitely like a grumpy teenager at times!

Saturday was a really busy day. In the mornung we went for a walk to do the Scarecrow Walk. Such a fun, creative event. In the afternoon/evening we had a massive family party. It was billed as a 100th birthday party as my Uncle was 70 and my cousin was 30. It was a fantastic excuse to all get together (I reckon there was at least 60 of us!) and I had such a fun evening. I love my family. Fun and entertaining.

The weekend ended with an invite for the kids to swim in my cousins pool and then a BBQ at Dad’s house with my aunt and uncle and cousins. We also had some family staying so it was a mental and busy weekend and it was such a wonderful time.

I am absolutely knackered now though!

This morning I went to church with Auntie Cath and then went with The Little Mister and our friend Kayleigh to do Les Babouins de Torteval or the Scarecrows of Torteval Walk.

More fabulous scarecrows this year, several of which were Boris Johnson and various cabinet members!

It was extremely warm though so we ended the day with a swim at The Cup and Saucer.

I had tested The Little Mister this morning and he was negative but decided to do another Covid test this evening… this time he was positive! I don’t believe it – three out of four of us are positive now. Will I survive without getting it?!
