Tasty Exchange & The Seaside

This beautiful long cushion from Michele for the Lizzie Kate Exchange blog arrived for me whilst I was on my holidays…Michele has captured me perfectly…I adore these colours together too.

Well we are back from our break by the seaside…the weather was half way kind to us, not beach weather but not woolly jumper weather. We spent a lot of time walking and eating…lol…that’s the thing about the seaside…too many tempting foods..fish & chips, waffles, ice-cream, seafood, candy floss…I succumbed to all bar one!

We did have a bit of a panic on Wednesday when a wasp decided to sting Martha…poor little mite was screaming so badly, he finger swelled up to 3 times the size and her hand was all red. We drove to the nearest pharmacy and the lovely man gave (sold) us some Piriton for her, she was still hysterically crying…I also gave her Calpol and baby Ibuprofen and after 2 hours of screaming she finally zonked out for 2 hours and woke up perfectly fine and back to her old self.

We took her to a lovely play farm on Thursday where she could feed and pet the animals, she loved the donkey, goats and sheep but the pigs were ever so smelly…lol!!

The farm also had an indoor and outdoor play area with sandpit, climbing frames, ride on tractors..

One of the evenings we went to Scarborough to do a bit of retail therapy…just as we arrived the heavens opened…we sat under the covered seating area and I got a great picture of the rainbow over the harbour..

Isaac also had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa, he did miss his Mummy and little sister a bit…he did admit!!

I will be back later in the week with a knitting finish and the photos of my Mum’s birthday gift…
