Month: August 2009

We left Marion and Bryan’s and called into Lakeside on the way back. We went to Ikea to see if they still had some wind breaks for us to take back to Cyprus but sadly they had sold out.  We then went to Comet to buy a new Pentax camera as my last camera broke and I had been borrowing Mal’s. The nice salesman explained to us why buying products on the internet was cheaper – apparently it’s because they are foreign imports not meant for UK use. Mal managed to get a £5 reduction and when we unpacked the box on the way back home we discovered the instruction manual was only in Japanese.

I gave Mal back his broken camera and he immediately fixed it!

A quiet night in the caravan.

Sunday 2nd August   It was the boys last morning so we had a big fry up and packed their cases ready for them to spend two weeks with their mother. Poor River didn’t want to leave us, so they said they would put on sad faces for the photo.

Sad faces before they left.  Mal and I cleared up the caravan after the boys had gone… we will miss them too.

We then drove over to see Marion and Bryan. Val and Bob had been there for the weekend. As soon as we arrived the men disappeared to the pub. When they returned we all had dinner together.

The boys wanted to go to the shops in the morning to spend all their winnings from grandad’s games and money that they earnt from doing jobs. Tariq (the saver) bought a new pair of football boots. So, in the afternoon we had to go back to Quex Park so that they could play football again.   We stayed there for quite a while and also watched the display of the eagle Owl and looked at the other birds they keep there. There was a Barn Owl and every time I tried to take a picture it flew at me. In the evening the boys watched their last film of the holiday.
