Busy Summer

Haven't done any blogs recently. Fairly hectic summer. Abi was working for most of it, but we managed a long weekend with old Northamptonshire friends in Kettering and Raunds at the end of July. Reuben and Ellie went off to Audacious, a church youth event in Portsmouth and we took Caleb to my mum's in Bournemouth. While we were there, we went to London for a couple of days, staying in a Travelodge (very basic). We did lots of touristy things, including the London Eye and a trip to Covent Garden. We also went to see the Lord of the Rings musical, which was absolutely brilliant.

Over the bank holiday weekend, we camped in Cornwall, meeting up with more old friends, mostly Northamptonshire exiles and their new mates. To finish a great break, Reuben had a birthday bash with over 40 school friends, followed by about six staying for a sleepover (or should I say Wakeover).
