I've been having SUCH a fabulous summer with my darling babies! Today was a great day so here's some photos to share.!
We are lucky enough to have a house on the North Norfolk coast ( not in one of the posh villages as a friend kindly remarked recently!) but we love our house and we love that the kids can cycle to the sea and eat ice creams every day!
Today was all about being on the water - we took our boat; Mabel, a Tideway - a 14 foot wood and fibreglass beautiful boat with sails and a motor, out to Scolt Head Island - unfortunately for us we left the harbour just as a sail race was about to start so DH had to navigate through tens of Laser Sailing Dinghies and Twinkle Twelves waiting to start! We zigzagged through them with the motor on low...
Boy was desperate to helm BUT the trip out this morning was too stressful!!!
DH is very much the master on the boat and that includes cooking!
The crazy children were swimming ( and shivering!) and drinking tea!
I didn't actually remove my jumper ( purchase from ASOS earlier in the summer now out of stock!) all morning as it was a little breezy out on the water
Daughter decided to check EXACTLY what the parents were drinking especially as one was in control of Mabel!
It really was a few fab hours in the sunshine and breeze on the water - perfect Bank Holiday
and then I spent the afternoon in the garden in the sun reading and watching Boy climb the trees - Happy days!

Once we'd anchored off the beach of the island ( it seemed rather busy today so we decided not to go ashore but to fire up our FAB gas cooker on the boat) out came the frying pan for fried egg baps and bacon - DELICIOUS - I love a late morning tide, you don't have to get up too early but still have an excuse to eat breakfast on the water

Hope your Summer has been full of loveliness too - more posts to follow once the babies go back to school and I return to Riyadh - 9 days left!
