Gulli on the beach in Hove

The teachers were on strike today so the boys were off school, we went to Brighton for the day!
I took Max clothes shopping for his Birthday on the 5th ;-)
Then we met my Mum, my Brother Tom, my friend Karen, Gulli's Godmother, my friend Sarah, Zebedee's Godmother and old friend Clare for a picnic on the beach at Hove Lagoon, it was lovely but too windy after a while, so we went to the cafe and had cofee, so lovely to see everyone!
Love this picture, it captures the joy and freedom of a day on the beach for me, he had just been buried in the stones by Zebedee....
Then we popped in at the Freemason's recording studio to say hi to James and Russell, great place they have there! Always great seeing them!
It was all a bit late by this time so we took the boys to China Garden Restaurant in Preston St for a Chinese! The boys decorated Munnis! My Dad took me and 20 friends there for my 21st!
All back at home now, I am flying to Irkutsk in the Russian far East tomorrow so time to pack!
