    Sounds like a packed summer hols, Susanna. Have to say that I’m relieved that the almost-10 week marathon summer hols are drawing to a close tomorrow 😉

    We’re just getting through a painfully cold (today was 21 degrees celsius!) winter here in Sydney, Australia. Looking forward to getting into the summer mood with my little one in a couple of months. Thanks for the inspirational ideas!

    Looks like you’ve have a busy time of it. At least you have some lovely memories of the summer of 2009.
    I don’t think I’ve enjoyed mine as much as you, apart from a five day break at Center Parcs which was fab.

    Clareybabble — hope you are better soon.
    Iota — now I’m scared, fingers crossed, six more days

    You shouldn’t actually tot up the Trips to A&E till the children are behind the school gate on the first day of term. That’s known as tempting fate.

    Sounds like you had a whale of a time!! I’ve been ill through a lot of the hols or working so we haven’t done much!

    Mom Most Traveled– we have a lot of pink at our house.

    That sums it up nicely! And I love the trio of pink trousers! 🙂

    Slug — for better or worse, that’s normal for us.

    That is a nice bit of math. I am surprised number of fights with hubby is so low. If it’d been us, we would have fought at least every other day. Well done.

    Mwa– I liked the foreign bits too!
    Sharon — yes they just flew by a little too fast

    Can’t believe how fast the hols have gone this summer. I’ve managed to fit in a few blogs though http://www.Tishtashtoys.com/blog

    Huge success indeed. Our holidays are not over yet – they last until the first of September. I’d say so far they’ve been okay-ish. I liked the foreign bits. I prefer routine anyway. Just eight more days…
