I hope that was the last of the big storms this week cos it was a doozzie!

Friday and Saturday of this week was terrential rain and wind and general miserableness. We found a bad leak in our back room (the boys playroom) and so are waiting for the insurance company to come and have a look but hopefully we can get the carpet replaced which is the only major damage. We headed off on Saturday morning for a drive to Macra beach to look at the farm animals along the way but all we saw was major flooding with lots of worried looking farmers moving their stock and houses with water lapping at their doors and it made our leak seem pathetic in comparison, the boys loved daddy driving through the big puddles (and some of them were rivers) over the road and then we had a picnic huddled in the back of the car at the beach.

Sunday arrived and so did summer - finally it was hot and sunny and gorgeous and a friend was having a birthday bbq so it was sunhats and suncream at last and we had a lovely afternoon in the sun.

Earlier this week Adrian brought the boys some small Toy Story figues which they loved and there is a girl cowboy called Jessie, Thomas was mimicking her "Yeahaa" and generally throwing her about but Jack was telling us that "she's a girl" and making her and the Woody toy kiss! .... who'll be the romantic one of the two of them do you think?

Counting down to visitors arriving now and we can't wait!!!!
