A few days away

I must apologise once again to all my blog followers, because it has been more than a few days since I have written!

But we have just returned from a much needed break to the seaside for a couple of days.

After the hectic time of moving (and anyone who has moved house will know very well there are STILL boxes in my house/garage that aren’t unpacked… lol), and trying to get the nursery ready for the new arrival, and taking on the allotment as well, there doesn’t seem to have been much time to breathe lately, never mind anything else!

So we decided to take a long weekend down to Frinton, on the Essex coast, just over an hour away from where we are (short car journeys only for me now!).

All in all we had a fab time on the beach at Frinton (our guesthouse was walking distance to the sea which was nice!) and on the pier at Walton

-although it has to be said the small person had much more fun amongst all the noise and chaos than the heffalump who had to spend most of the time sitting down in order to not be falling down!

On the way home we stopped in at Colchester Zoo – it seemed silly not too as we practically drove past it on the way there!

Now we are back home, and I am just about done with the mountains of washing (we were away two nights, how does that happen?!) and getting back to “normal” again.

I am not feeling so “normal” at the moment though. I have got to the tired, achy & uncomfortable beached whale stage of pregnancy now lol

Although not many weeks left to go, so I promise to try & do a post about the new house before the baby comes – I have yet to take the photos! But the house is getting straighter, so hopefully soon :-)

This is the pic from the sales listing – to give you an idea! It looks really small compared to the next house in this photo, but they are actually semi detached (and the same size!) just ours is set back from the one on the right, making them not so attached!

Hope everyone else is enjoying the summer holidays?
