Despite the crazy heat here in East Sussex, it has been a great month and here are some of the things that have been making me super happy.
My Mum and Dad came to stay in the cottage we have on-site here and it was lovely to spend a whole week with them, visiting lots of open spaces.

I've had a few trips to Bodiam Castle recently as it is super close to my home. Here is Miss E feeding the ducks, they do seem to love her.

The girls turned 13 in July and had loads of fun.

We also had a trip out to Go Ape, Bedgebury and I watched safely from the ground.
My husband and I took a trip over to Nymans, a National trust site in West Sussex and Miss E came with us, the other two stayed home!

My hubby and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary with a day in Brighton, walking, chatting and enjoying coffee and waffles.

A lot of the weather has been far too hot for me, anything over about 28 in the UK is too much, but I have generally been enjoying the fine weather, getting out for walks and loving watching the sky.
