Well they are back! · Monday August 6, 2007 by Ann
The girls are home.
We had a message asking us to go and fetch them back from Weston today, as Fiona had to come home early, so they hadn’t got a lift.
Nancy, Tom’s granddaughter is here for a couple of days so Tom and I decided to make a day of it and take Nancy for a day at the seaside.
We had a lovely time. The sun shone all of the time and it was good to be outside for any length of time on a beach without plastic macs and waterproofs!
Tom picked up Alice and Lucy at about 1pm and they joined us on the beach-we had a picnic and Lucy played with Nancy to her hearts content whilst Alice slept! They built sandcastles, did cartwheels and handstands played ball and went onto the bouncy castle before finishing off with an ice cream
Apparently they had enjoyed the festivities right up until the very end and it was light before they went to bed this morning-awakening at 11.15am and realised they had to be packed up and off the site by 12 md!
They managed it though!
They have spent all of their money, met lots of friends old and new and had an absolutely glorious time
We left Weston in time to meet my stepson Thomas who is here overnight as he is flying out from Birmingham to Munich first thing tomorrow morning.
We have eaten a big vegan curry with lentil dahl which I had the foresight to make before we left this morning.
Now we are going through photographs from HesFes-and also found some of Thomas from his childhood for his mother to see-he has only recently been back in touch with her and is rebuilding their relationship.
The girls are really enjoying using the bathroom- going to a festival and camping is really necessary to really appreciate an normal bathroom.
I’m off now to listen to more of their adventures,
