Jet!

M’boy was in desperate need of a haircut, so we headed into town this morning to get him sorted.

We all had a chuckle when one of the Turkish barbers emerged from the backroom and on seeing m’boy’s new “do”, loudly exclaimed: “Looking fresh, my man!”

Some further supplies were obtained and we returned home for a spot of lunch before taking a wander down river to allow the wee ones some time to paddle in the river to cool off as the temperature began to climb. It was all nice and relaxed until we became aware of some movement behind us and gradually became hemmed in by a band of marauding cows. It was like a parody of the climax of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (and one of their fathers). M’boy in particular became rather unnerved by this, so we quietly slipped away and let the cows have their land back.

Later on, we headed down to the seaside for tea with LadyV and the girls who had just returned from a fab few days in Disneyland Paris. Her girls and the wee ones hadn’t seen each other in ages, so it was a nice reunion for them and to catch up over a lovely chicken traybake tea before we headed out for a walk/scoot/perambulate along the prom.

Because of the heat, the water jets were still on, so they all had great fun riding through them (extra) and getting splashed. Of course, The Youngest was the only one to get completely soaked, which brought proceedings to a halt and we headed off home.

Perfect end to a long, hot weekend!
