Labour Day weekend (Anna)

Well, we didn't get to go away for as long this weekend as we would have if our fridge hadn't broken (grrr), but we did have a fantastic getaway.

We spent the night at a little seaside resort about an hour from home. Company was great - just the three of us - and involved lots of talking and giggling. Highlights included watching live crabs being caught, sampling the local fish and chips and icecream, wandering along the street, swimming, and spending hours on a beautiful beach collecting rocks. Not a bad few days at all.

On the way home, Emma offered to drive. When she found herself stuck in the back seat despite her kind offers, she decided to be an active back-seat driver. Her commentary went something like this: "Red says 'stop'. Green says 'go'. Yellow says 'Slow down!' Mummy - go. Go Mummy, go. Where did the red light go? Green says stop. Nooo!!! Green says go. Red says stop. Too fast, Mummy. Slow down! That was a big bump, Mummy. I seed a truck. I drive the truck. Stooooop!!!! Mummy. Why we waiting? We waiting for the traffic? Is it a red light? When it go green? When it go green, Mummy? When it go green, Mummy? It green!! Go, Mummy, Mummy, go, go, go. Where we going? Slow down! Can we go 'weeee' down the hilll?"...
