I love this new life
I was going to make this a blog post and edit photos and do all that stuff. But d’you know what? This says it all. Watch it and see, instead. I am gloriously happy. I love this seaside life and these people.

I’ve discovered that for some reason the photo slideshow doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone. So if you click here you can see the whole set on my Flickr account. R x

Love, love this! Just popped on after I saw you post about it on Parent Bloggers group. I’m definitely going to have to do something like this.

Wonderful pics and so nice to see children enjoying – each other – nature – the simple things I love the one where the boy loses his hat – great picture and all your flower pictures.
It looks like you’ve got your hands full – I am surprised you have the time to write – but being happy and content with your ‘lot’ is the most important thing.
I too took that giant step – and followed a difficult journey but realised two dreams (now realising a third 1st book published) in the last two decades.
Well done – it looks like you’re doing a good job.

Oh Penelope, that’s such an inspiration! Hopefully I’ll be following you into the book publishing thing soon. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, it’s lovely to have you here!

How great. Just briliant – like ’6 go mad’ by the seaside. Am expecting to see lashings of lemonade, cream tea and fish and chips! Enjoy – your lovely summer days with your wonderful family. ;-D
