Catching up - August

Unfortunately due to illness, I was unable to be as efficient as hoped with regards to keeping my blog up to date - therefore I now find myself playing catch up with a couple of events that took place in August that have not been recorded as yet.

First and foremost our wonderful daughter Sophie celebrated her fifth birthday - she had been looking forward to the occasion for quite a substantial period of time.

Sophie wanted to reassure me on the morning of her birthday that she had not been downstairs yet!! (....to see if she had any presents)
She had a party at the local Wacky Warehouse with about 15 of her friends, which was then followed up by a family BBQ.

Secondly after three years of trying but sadly failing, due to other commitments, we finally made it to the Lawsons for the Annual Bank Holiday Bash. We (along with other friends of ours...)arrived Sunday evening and camped and ate and chatted (around a campfire of course) before heading off to bed in preparation for our bike ride in the forest the next morning - which turned out to be a "little" longer than first anticipated. A good time was had by all - great company, beautiful setting - what more could we ask for really! Roll on next year's event - what to do though then.... decisions, decisions!
