This morning we got up early, packed the car and started day 1 of our "proper" holiday. I say "proper" as we have already spent a month in the caravan and feel incredibly lucky. This week, Mark is off work :-)
We stopped off at Burnham on Sea approx 11.30. We went to Morrisons which is on the sea front and bought a pack of pork pies and pot of pasta each which we ate on the beach. We also stopped off at the wool shop where I bought another 4 balls of cream and biscuit coloured wool to go with some wool I bought from there previously, so I can start another long term project.

From Burnham on Sea we went to The Clarks Outlet Village at Street to buy school shoes. Roman measures at size 3F and Anais measures at 6C. Unfortunately, the width of shoes start at E so Anais has major skinny feet and we ended up buying her shoes in size 6.5E and lace up.
We got to the cottage approx 5.00. It is a lovely little cottage and we were greeted by the owner, Margeret. We loved the little touches and attention to detail - a TV paper left us for us, a bottle of wine, all cleaning things, the electric meter topped up and with change on the side should we need it in an emergency, blankets, log burning stove, children's and adults reading books, a selection of board games and jigsaws, children's colouring things, slow cooker in the kitchen, it is better equipped than the kitchen at home!
Pictures of the cottage -
we have a back and side garden with children's slide and washing line
to the front is a field of cows and chicken coup
there is flagstone flooring in the dining room
there are beams in the living room and dining room

As I am a fidget we stopped off at the new services at Gloucester so I could get some wool out of the boot! I managed to start and finish a red frilly knitted scarf made driving down here! (pictures to follow)
Anais and Roman were eager to unpack their clothes in their bedroom. Anais did some puzzles in a book and Roman completed a jigsaw.

The dongle reception here is next to useless. We might have to wait to upload any further photo's until we get home as these few tonight (and what I uploaded to Facebook) took almost two hours *not amused*.
