It was the summer of ...

... 2013.

ok, so that doesn't scan, but you get my meaning!

Let me share our summer adventures with you. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

Throughout the summer hols Kez and I have had some lovely summer adventures. About once a week we would spend the morning up the horse with Grum, then we'd have lunch out and take the dog for a walk around Wrest Park. We really made the most of our English Heritage tickets this year!

We also took Kez to History Live, which is a huge re-enactment and living history festival held at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire every July. We've been lots of times before but this time Kez was able to really join in too. We even took little Star, who coped very well with both the journey and the excitement of the day!

We had an amazing day out in London at the Pompeii Exhibition at The British Museum. Grum and Grandpa very kindly drove us down to London and whilst we were at the museum we took Kez in to see the Egyptian section. Well, she surprised us all immensely by immediately telling us that the sarcophagi were the boxes for the mummies! She knew all about them. I have a lot to thank Scooby Doo for!

And of course we had lots of lovely days meeting up with families at various events and days out. We've been to country and county fairs, swimming with aunts and cousins, lots of days out at old houses and Kez also spent 2 nights with her grandparents all on her own and went to Canons Ashby with them like a grown up girl! Times are moving on folks.

So, just before Kezia starts 'big school', here is a glimpse of some of the highlights of our Summer 2013 holiday.
