Back from holiday.

We have been away for a wonderful week staying in a friend's cottage in a place called the Lower Mill Estate. It was very nice. The cottage had lots of room, a wood burning fire, all the kitchen appliances you could want as well as fantastic scenery and grounds. Our eldest swam in the outdoor swimming pool most days - despite on one day it being drier in the pool than out on account of the torrential rain. It was a lovely week. We had a great time as a family and by the end of it felt relaxed enough to start having a holiday but, unfortunately, it is back to school and work tomorrow.
