...Ollie was the hit of the day, in fact, quite possibly, the hit of the summer. This large green inflatable sun lounger was brought back by Jon when he went out shopping this morning, and Emily's been in seventh heaven ever since. Here are some pics: as you can see, Ollie's perfect for reading the latest Simpsons magazine, sunbathing on your back......
or chatting on your front.....
After a very soggy afternon, there was another surprise in store; Emily and I were playing cards in her bedroom unaware that Jon was preparing a lovely barbecue outside. Given the amount of orders piling up on our sitting room floor, this somewhat reckless behaviour was an absolute tonic - for once we had a ball eating out in the garden, and I was even treated to barbecued asparagus and scrummy red wine. We sat and chatted and chilled and left the orders to pile up. Bliss. And unheard of for a Sunday evening, which is usually panic stations as we try to get everything packed in time for Monday's post.
Emily had a great tea time barbecue, which was swiftly followed by another session in the pool. She was fully dressed by then, but as all small children know, what difference do clothes make? If you've got to paddle, you've got to paddle.... dressed or not....
We've finally made it back in now, and the packing pile is indeed looking rather ominous, but we've had a fabulous afternoon and what could be more important than that?
