Where is the best place to spend a lovely, sunny afternoon like today? At the beach, of course! Yesterday was a busy day, full of various men of the family climbing under poorly cars, children climbing over my poor sofas (soon to be recovered, once R is a bit further through the sticky finger phase) and me climbing the mountain of decorating another cake! It's not a mountain because I dislike cake decorating, just that decorating said cake in small kitchen whilst also trying to cook dinner/get drinks for everyone/trip over R or the contents of the cupboard he has just emptied, can be a challenge lets say!
Anyway, the cake was safely delivered to its recipient, to be enjoyed at a family birthday party. Phew! It went out of the front door safely! I hope it went down well with the birthday boy!
On that subject, if you'd like me to make a cake for you - I'd love to! Just contact me for details I am going to add a cakes gallery page too, so take a look.
Today was much more like holiday. Brunch for around 20ish at our place - lovely! The a trip to Brighton to pick up our new kiddie trailer for the bike. Picnic bike rides, here we come! We drove on to find the lovely little pebble beach at Rottingdean - a really sweet little place which the children loved. It's simple pleasures like this that make all the hard work worthwhile. They were completely happy climbing, splashing and frolicking (funny word, but just right) on the beach. R really enjoyed getting wet too.
N and I made some more pictures with pebbles on the huge granite rock sea breakers. Aren't the colours amazing! Beautiful. He's pretty precise and decisive for a 2 year old, and we made circles, flowers and fish for a little while together.
All in all, a perfect day. I hope yours was too, however you spent it.
