just another morning here

Very pleased to have sneaked in on this one due to virtue of having been home educating when we booked it, and then sharing a room meaning that our places would be harder to fill; we had a fantastic time. I love the Borders anyway, they hold some nostalgia and memories for me from the year we lived there, and also it’s just a generally beautiful place to be.

Despite the usual Melrose illness and the fact that lots of people left early as a result, which was sad, we still had a great week. We enjoyed our time in the hostel and out of it – I hardly saw the children as they were having such fun socialising, and I had a lovely time with friends too. Would have been even better if people hadn’t started being ill/going home on my birthday, but there we are, such is life.

My three all enjoyed Helen’s music workshop, and the girls loved Matt’s computer game one too. Josiah still maintains that ‘he has enough computer games already so why would he want to make a new one?’, and nothing will persuade him otherwise! Our trip to Dynamic Earth was good, and we all had fun joining in on a couple of geocache trails. All very educational I’m sure, just to justify the week out of school!

My full set of photos is here, more beautiful ones of Em’s are here, and the Beans’ are here … maybe more to come when flickred.
