Friday 10th
We met up with some other home eddy friends and braved the weather and went to Teignmouth.
Lovely train journey along the coast, arrived at lunchtime and sat in the park for a picnic. Bit windy, a few showers, savage seagulls, but apart from that we all had a nice time:-
Here they are watching a short film about the History of Teignmouth - a story of sea and land, of war and peace, of interactions with far off places and developments of domestic industries.
Lots of Weaponry - apparently Teignmouth was twice burned by the French and hammered by German bombs in the war..
Lots more interesting stuff there - but of course the Pier was calling us - penny slot machines and MORE scary puppet shows - they all had a great time though and we had a nice train ride home.
Weekend - Well, we went to Bicton College Open Day - less said about that the better, as I haven't got time to rant.
Sunday - Out and about, getting jobs done (I sound like Bob The Builder) visit to my parents then home for a roast.
Monday - The electrician came round in the morning, took longer than we thought so didn't get to the Teignbridge Group on time - well, we actually got there 5 minutes before it ended. Still had a game of cricket on the beach, paddled in the ice cold sea and collected shells.
Tuesday - Indented to go to pottery but we arrived early and no one was there so we headed off to Exmouth for a game of Crazy Golf. Then onto Budleigh for Ice-Cream and a walk along the beach, which if you are wearing flip flops really hurts as it is very pebbly. Looked in on my aunt who gave us tons and tons of really good books for the kids, then after James had made her tortoise do a roly poly, we headed back into Exeter. Mike had to get new trainers in the town centre, then we went to my parents before going to Athletics.
They both did really well, Becky attempted hurdles for the first time, she was a bit nervous but the coach was really good (Becky also towered above him, I hadn't realised she had grown so tall).
Danny was exceptional in the discus, throwing around 20m - not bad for a 10 year old.
Yesterday - DIY Day, well, for Mike anyway. I went into Exeter with James to sort out a few things for Mikes birthday. Was strange going in and not going into the group - but to be honest, I am not missing it that much, just miss how it used to be be, and also my head is about to explode with trying to understand what on EARTH is going on with some people. Oh well.
Today - Lots of talk on the phone about a new group for the Autumn, and a possible new singing group for Becky. So looking up in that area of HE.
Now - not sure whether to go to athletics, Danny wants to practice discus again, but I have a birthday cake to make, and James is still napping. What to do?
Anyway - hope you are all having a good week.
