GUESS WHAT?

Charles has spent all day working on stuff for the school in Birmingham that he works for two days a week. Hmmmm!!

I've just wasted an afternoon baking a seeded loaf that appeared to have proved perfectly but has completely collapsed in the oven. So annoying!!

Starting to discuss holiday ideas now. Looks like Cornwall is a definite goer during August. Just need to get Helen and Bill to tell us their thoughts and then we can go ahead and get something booked up. Mind you, it would appear to be as, if not more, expensive to have a fortnights holiday in Cornwall than to go abroad. We are really hoping that some of the kids will come and join us during our time away. I used to love it when they joined us on the boat, but, although both of Helens kids have spent part of the holidays with us, neither of ours have, so I'm desperate  for that to be put right this year!! Maybe, once Charles has finished working on this school report thing, we'll manage to discuss our ideas!
