Home again. Disappointingly I’ve managed to peak too early. I’ve now got the prospect of the rest of the summer stretching ahead of me with no other plans. I’m not going anywhere else. My children are going to be doing some other stuff and will be spending a week of their summer with their father – although given his very expensive honeymoon I’m not sure they will be going very far.
I’m not sure I agree with the concept of a honeymoon “a deux” second time around. There are a lot of children involved who are all having to get used to a new world order and I would have thought it would have been much better to have taken all the kids with them (easy for me to say). Or am I wrong? What exactly is the purpose of a honeymoon (other than to recover from the exhaustion of the wedding) and does the concept of it still work in this modern age? I think I’d take my children with me….which probably explains the lack of wedding proposals thus far.
ANYWAY. We have Just had the most lovely holiday. All the kids are very happy and smiley. We managed to get all 9 of us safely back home all pretty much in one piece – although when going through the airport, passport control, security checks and coaches to the plane it really wouldn’t be difficult to lose one or two along the way. Builder Bloke was the only one who managed to sustain an injury (other than sore eyes and ears from too much swimming and sore limbs from hanging on to Banana Boats etc) whilst away – his son managed to give him a suspected broken nose by elbowing him whilst running away from a wave. It is now black and blue. He keeps asking if I think it’s broken but it’s hard to tell – it’s quite lumpy, but I think it was like that before.
