Today it was sunny so...

We're going to Coney Island!

We went to my SIL's house and our kids played with their cousins and we all ended up in a water gun fight. 

What a gorgeous weekend... we went hiking and saw some stunning views of Loch Ness

..I washed a bunch of quilts/blankets and hung them out.  The duvet was too big to fit in the washer, so I filled up the bathtub and washed it in there.
This afternoon I was able to sit outside reading a good book...peace and quiet!

I'm jealous. Not about the washing part though.

Stayed indoors all day with hella sinusitis and a 5-year-old girl with a 39 degree fever and cough.  :\\\'(

Oh, that's a shame.  I'm sorry. 

Beautiful!

Thanks. 

I went running with my son again.  How to feel unfit... 

Haresfield Beacon, Cotswold Way.  Hard to keep a walker indoors on a sunny day.

We went on a spur of the moment camping trip after I finished work yesterday afternoon.  We were up early (due to the birds!) and took a long walk around the area in Nidderdale.  It was perfect weather and so pretty!

We went walking yesterday too!  I feel so unfit compared to how I was a year ago - walking 12 miles a day back then!  But I was sick so much over the winter, plus bereavement and gaining a bit of weight, so guess it'll take awhile to get back in the swing of things.

We took persephone & hubby out on a walk with us, that ended up being (seemingly) longer and harder than what I had anticipated.  I am hoping we didn't put them off walking.  

But it was a lovely day & we had a great pub lunch at a mid-way point - with steak pie & chips!  Along the walk, we saw this:

And I got a farmer's sunburn/tan on my face and arms.

Nice! Sounds like a good walk! It's been a little while since I have taken a good, long walk. I've been riding my bike around the harbour and pier after work on sunny days just to get a bit of fresh air and sunshine. 

I went to Oxford with the wonderful Abby Normal!!!  And had a great time. (Especially when we had Yo Sushi!!!)

Yesterday it was gorgeous, so we rode our bikes to the castle and saw a seal fishing for salmon in the river! So cool! Then we just sat on a bench by the river and rested for a bit and then rode around the neighbouring village and came back. It was such a great day! The day before that we rode our bikes around the marina for a bit, then laid on the grass and watched the boats and chilled out before riding back home. I'm hoping for another ride today!

Sounds amazing!


Yesterday was sunny so my friend and I grabbed a coffee to go and sat on the beach until the sun set.

That sounds good, too! 

I got sunburned.
