Busy doing nothing

We get up today determined to do some exercise so we decide to walk into Hole Town to get some groceries. The kids and mum aren't about to budge!

We sort breakfast and leave them relaxed and soaking up the sun. Mum continues to be engrossed in reading "The Help". She should finish it within a few days at this rate.

The walk to Hole Town is tough. Although we left early it's already baking hot. But we would would rather have this than the weather at home.

Because its Monday morning the supermarket is busy and bread has all gone except for a few whole loaves so we grab one. We end up buying more than we planned - as always, so it's a taxi back to the Hut.

Everyone is where we left them even though we've been gone for over 2 hours. The kids decide to make lunch and it's yummy.

Back to sunbathing and before we know it the sun is going down so it's r&b's on the terrace as we watch the last rays of the day.

Because mum isn't keen on going out the kids decide to walk down to Raggamuffin's while we stay home and rustle up the evening meal.

After dinner we settle down to watch a film that Henry has downloaded to his IPad. He thinks it's puss in boots but it turns out to be some awful, badly made rip off. We give it 15 minutes then rip off. Henry puts Tron on instead. Mmmm not sure if this is any better.

Before you know it the kids are back. They ended up at Surfside as Raggamuffin's was full. The walk was longer than they anticipated and they encountered some interesting local characters on the way!

A little while later its off to bed leaving the kids sitting out enjoying the warm night air and a couple of drinks on their balcony.

The days are flying by and once or twice we've mentioned going home which we're not looking forward to at all.

No specific plans for tomorrow but we will make appointments for massages at Royal Westmorland Spa.
