At the moment we're staying at the Cottrell (Sr.) house in sunny Bournemouth; enjoying a (very) long weekend, after the wedding of Helen's brother Matt to his new bride, Hannah. It's been great fun, hanging out with Helen's extended family, and yesterday we visited the beach with Linda, Richard and the kids, had a BBQ with Alan and Katie, and then visited Wendy and Royce in the evening. Despite the continued discomfort of hayfever, I've really enjoyed the chance to be in the sunshine, and kick back a little.
Cara has been having lots of fun, too. She seemed a little cautious about going in the sea, and was wary of the big kids splashing at the paddling pool, but she loved playing in Alan and Katie's back yard, and got so tired that she started falling over and bumping into things. She loves playing with her 7 cousins, especially Martha, who she enjoys swapping dummies with.
We'll be in Bournemouth for another day, and then will spend Wednesday at 'Bird Land' near Cheltenham with the Cooks, before heading home. What a great way to welcome in Summer!
