Bacton Beach

Lovely day out at Bacton Beach - it was a bit of a bitch to find where we were supposed to park.  We drove backwards and forwards and eventually stopped on the side of the road for the nth time to decide what to do next ... when up walks a lovely young policeman, 'are you lost ladies?' he asks in his south Wales accent ... he was so helpful and after his advice we were able to find the right place to park.    It's a nice beach but there were no ablutions close by, so that would have been a problem if we'd all needed to do a number two.   The girls and Ewan spent most of the time in the water, it was lovely and warm, very clear.  Just a bit too pebbly for my sensitive feet  - so next time we'll try and find a more sandy beach, so I can paddle out further.  [As always click on image to see larger picture]

Impromptu braai ... April 2018

You might notice funny looking spots on people's faces, they're stickers ... as you do.

Egg hunt - a few stills

Daniel's first christmas concert in the UK

He's the sheep in the front of the stage ...  so awesome.

Haven't posted photos here for a long time and I have a lot to put up here for posterity's sake.  Next post will update of photos of Lara.

Scott clan settling in

Well it's two weeks tomorrow since Andrew, Leigh and the boys arrived in the UK ... crazy times! 
They've organised themselves a sturdy people carrier and today Daniel started his first day at Manorfield in Reception class (Acorns) with his teacher, Miss Holmes.  He seemed excited to get going and I hope he adapts well to school life in the UK - it really is a great school.  The staff are very caring and facilities are top notch.  

He is being eased into it at the moment (same as Ewan) - so for the first few days he goes from 1 to 3pm, then next week we has two days starting at 11.45 to 3pm, then on Thursday he starts a full day, which is from 0850 to 3pm.

Here's Daniel in his new uniform, all ready to go.

Of course, mustn't forget Faye and Ewan who are also starting a new school year with different teachers.  I hope their first day went well, I will collect them later on.

Now that the kids are at school, we can sort of get into a routine - it was all over the place while the holidays were on - but now it will settle into a rhythm.  I've had a lot of work over the past few weeks, hope it continues.    Allyson is doing well - even though she was hospitalised a week ago- she looks well and baby is fine.  We went to see her yesterday, after getting more uniform and clothing in Norwich.   I've still got to take the Scott's into Norwich on the bus - might do that next week, once Daniel is at school full time.
