an entry (of sorts)

My goodness have I been really really busy recently!!!! Apologies for not adding an entry recently.

So I went to the balloon fiesta and had the best time, I have to say that for the whole day I reverted to the age of about 7...one very valid reason for this...the red arrows.
As a child, every year my parents took my brother and I to a local air show and the red arrows performed the most amazing aerobatics...incredible.
So when the red arrows came whooshing threw the air I almost wet myself with glee. They are everything and more that I remember as a child. This time had an added little touch though, the gentleman on the tannoy system allowed us a treat of listening to what was being said in the actual planes!!! the planes were going straight up in the air and what came over the tannoy was "whooohoooohoooo thems the g-force" I was crying with laughter (from all this you can imagine that Nathan was the parent of Theo and I at this point).
Then came the balloons lift....wow. During the day the arena seemed huge, then the balloons came in and all of a sudden it became rather small...with 98 hot air balloons inflating and taking off, again wow.
Oh and the decorated tent went down a storm.

Then back for a week doing washing and packing for a week down in Cornwall....oh my beloved Cornwall. Now my love for the county was really tested this holiday as the weather was atrocious, wet wet wet...and then some wind for good measure.
I really did pack shorts and summer dresses in the lean expectancy of good weather...foolish I know.
But we had a brilliant week. My sister-in-law is pregnant with her 3rd child and if anyone suits being pregnant, its Kate. To put her life into perspective at the moment, she has sold her house and they move today, they are borrowing an aunts 2 bed flat, they are going to build their own home, her husband has handed his notice in at work and will be doing a change of career as a tree surgeon and then her eldest daughter goes to secondary school in 1 week!! and I thought I had to juggle things!!
We went for beautiful walks, we went to Marizion and had fish and chips on the beach, I met a real life artist and got all star struck (big fan)..Nannette Martin. And we went SHOPPING!!! Theo wasn't going to bed till about 9.30 every night as he was far to busy playing with his cousins...limited child care required!!

Now we are back and I am really trying to concentrate on shedding weight before I start college in 2 weeks...still don't want to be the fat, eldest student.

I also have the responsibility of creating a miniature garden with Theo to enter at the local veg fair!!!

so when I write this all down it doesn't seem to be that much but the time has gone somewhere!!!

So here's to you my friends who read my blog and I hope you are all enjoying the "summer".

MY question / thought for this entry is..what have you been up to recently and did you enjoy it????
