oooh what a lovely holiday

we had such a nice week away in Devon, the cottage was fab, lovely animals to feed and weather was sometimes nice, sometimes grim but generally not bad for September.  Ben was a bit variable as he is in the middle of dropping his nap, but is still knackered so if we went anywhere in the car he'd fall asleep then wake up grumpy and not want to be wherever we happened to take him.  So swimming and beach were greeted with "I don't want to do that"..... until we gently got him into it.  Unfortunately he was absolutely adamant he didn't want to sit in the bike seat so we didn't get to go for a bike ride as both Paul and I would really have liked to do - Becca would have been fine, but he flatly refused, but then had a total paddy cos he wanted to go on a bike ride and couldn't get the fact that it wasn't possible if he wouldn't sit in the seat.  Toddler meltdown ensued.....!
But in all a lovely week, glad to be home but sad that paul is back to work tomorrow.  Ben keeps asking to go back to the cottage.  Luckily we are off to the Forest of Dean this weekend with the Haigh clan so I was able to say we are off to a new cottage this weekend :-)
