Day 143 - May 23rd

"The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today"

After the tooth fairy visited last night (apparently the going rate is £2 for the first tooth and £1 for each one thereafter) and Steven returned from France, today has been a gloriously sunny start to the bank holiday weekend.

To mark the occasion and in anticipation of a lovely, long, hot summer, Lara and I went out this morning and bought a new paddling pool. The old one had punctured last year and despite repairing the hole it really wasn't going to last this summer. Once it had been inflated and filled Lara enjoyed the afternoon playing in the water while Wayne & I tried to tidy up the garden a bit more and then rounded off the afternoon with a barbeque tea. Not the first barbeque we've had this year, but the first where it has been warm enough to sit outside to eat. Food tastes so much nicer sitting outside in the sunshine.

Todays photo is of Lara enjoying the pool - I love the look on her face

Fab photo - you have captured the fun Lara is having perfectly - well done. You sound as if you have a lovely family day.

Great photo - she certainly looks like she is enjoying herself.
