All in all, yesterday was a less than ideal day to take Sarah to the coast. The weather at Walton was minging, shall we say. But that is no reason not to have fun!
Go buy pair of Wellies for little 'un (which were printed with a picture of loads of smarties, making them "smarty boots") and the hunting for interesting stones and fossils can continue in the light rain and wind.
We are British! this is our seaside! we will enjoy or die by inhaling rain or hypothermia or know the reason why!
Seriously we all had a fun day, what can you not love about a great plate of seaside fish and chips, some fresh air, interesting buildings and the big grin on Sarahs face when she actually did find a fossil. Especially as we were two miles away from the normal fossil sight.
And there is something peaceful and almost romantic about a deserted stretch of coast in that sort of weather. Not that I would no anything about that of course, it's just what I have been told.
Ahem.
Anyway, today looks like being warmer so I am hoping that we can all forsake the interior of Rancho Collapso and sit in the sun.
Mr Wolf is joining us for lunch I believe and he is not even being made to fix anything!
See, there is such a thing as a free lunch.
As the sun is over the yardarm, I am going back now to the Rancho (this post being done at the neighbors) to see what is about to quench my thirst.
Sorry this post is dragging on but at least it will be the only one you have to read from me today.
I hope those of you out there that have been feeling down and extremely down find the strength to keep going. I know it's hard, but speaking as someone who has had a lot of support from people on here when I was feeling rather mental - it can help to talk to people on here. Don't bottle too much up, because when the cork get blown out it can be rather messy.
