Spent most of the day at the beach. Clive's Office! It's a pavilion with open sides, right on the beach!
It has been a very hot day, the sea was the calmest it's been since I arrived. The beach is at John U Lloyd park. It's a conservation area that has won a Gold Award- it says its the best in America. It's a really lovely spot. Not commercial, lots of families there today. We took our audio book and sat under the shelter and listened to a few more chapters. - you are right Leah, it is a long book! I collected some shells and driftwood. (Only a very small piece. Don't imagine a tree trunk!) the sea was so warm! We also packed our picnic - this is something I can control! We had our lunch there and left about 3.30pm. When we got in the car, the outside temperature was 96 f! It was also not as windy today.
Off to CostCo, more food to buy!! I think we have enough fruit to feed you all! I have taken a photo of the melon - enormous - and the apples are the biggest I have ever seen! Well you know what they say, " everything is bigger in America ".
Home for dinner , and, you guessed it, another movie!
Lovely day though!
Sounds like you're trying to educate Clive in the ways of healthy eating! You'll both be running along the beach every day soon - ha ha! Poor Clive must have been starving after your picnic, bet he had a few treats out of the cupboard when he got home. Have you run him a bath yet?? He'll think that whilst the American's supersize everything, the English do everything in miniature!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your call yesterday - you know what it's like, my boss is so mean, he's got me working way too hard!! Went down to Westbury yesterday and not back til 4.45, then took the boys and Tilly over to Cookham. We met Helen and the girls and walked along the river to the Bounty where they had some chips and a drink. Tilly loved it and swam nearly all the way there! I got to dream about living in one of the huge houses with river frontage - nice.
Boys at holiday club again today. I'm meeting Lucy Davis (Perrott) in Bath tomorrow for lunch and then going to Sophie's for a sleepover! I haven't seen Cleo since she was 2 weeks old so very excited to see them all.
Oscar's got a tennis tournament on Sunday and Charlie's got a birthday party at Longridge (the canoeing/kayaking place) with some of his old friends from Ridgeway.
I'm off out for work soon, but will be back after 5 today if you want to call.
Lots of love. Leah xxxx
