A pocket of my life

June has been busy and hot!! Our month started with a surprise birthday party, new glasses for Lils and back to school fun. The party was for a family member who had no idea luckily, it was so lovely to see all the family again. We then took a trip to watch banger racing, we travelled to Arlington raceway and spent the night with friends watching some very fun racing. This is when the weather changed a bit and started creeping up, we took the kids to the travelling funfair which was a blast, Lils went on all the rides but one, shes crazy haha, and even Olivia was brave and went on the bigger chair-o-planes. It was a great fair and it was suprisingly quiet when we went. The weekend continued with the heat and we decided to enjoy a day at the beach, it was one of those days that I feel like we really needed, swimming in the sea, making sandcastles and trying to move our stuff whilst the tide tried to race us.  The heat really ramped up last week, we felt temperatures of 3...

Well that flew by, it feels like only yesterday I was writing Mays post. We have had a really good month, busy but good. The weather for the most part has been beautiful, hotter than we would like some says but the sun has been a welcome part. It meant that we have had a lot of time outside, either in the garden or for days out.  The month started with getting back to work and getting to know snowy better, we spent a lot of time in the garden and making sure that it is fully ready for summer. The following weekend, me and Lilly took part in our second race for life  in our local park, this one I wanted to beat lasts year time and we did that by 5 minutes in total and together we raised over £150, after Liam decided on a last minute BBQ, the first one of many at the house. Father's day was quiet this year, we had another bbq fhe night before as Liams mate visited and then we spoilt hkm the next day with some gifts and a meal he liked in the evening.  Last weeke...

Goodbye June and hello July, it has been a crazy month with so much going on and so many highs! We started off last month with a job interview for me and I am pleased to say that i got the job, I start in September which is so exciting and hopefully a new chapter for us. Liam has been enjoying his job and has a tan that many people would envy. The girls have had transition days and meetings for there new school and have done amazing! This certainly was the month of change. Me and Lils took part in the  race for life  this month which I am so proud of, we raised £150 for cancer research, a charity very close to our heart and are so grateful for everyone that sponsored us. Liam was sadly working on Fathers day so we celebrated on the Saturday, on the Sunday we spent time with my Dad at Bodiam castle, a beautiful national trust location with lots to explore. We had lunch and watched the steam train on the local track from the tower. Lils has been on her year 6 residen...
