Holiday's over for some and just starting for others.

BBQ in the back garden with Tim & Deanna.

After all the rain we escaped to Destin for a weekend of sun, sea, sand and lunch at Dewey Destins. Gosh, we are so predictable. Came back on Sunday in time for a barbecue with Tim, Deanna, Ethan & Willa.

Then the sunshine kind of went away after that. The weather has been a bit dreary while mum & dad have been visiting so there hasn't been much lounging about around the pool going on.

We have had visits to the park to feed the ducks, fish and turtles. We also went to Jasmine Hill gardens for a walk around their park, the flowers that were out were pretty but we missed the best display by about 2 months. I shall get there earlier next year.

Tom & Lily missed their last day of school today so we could all drive up to Birmingham via The Cheesecake Factory for lunch before saying our goodbyes to Granny & Grampa for another year.

So while mum & dad head back to Britain today at the end of their holiday, Tom & Lily start their long summer holiday today.
