Our holiday japes with the Mckendrys continued with a lot of time at the beach, thanks to the fantastic weather. We spent Tuesday at Pett Level which was brilliant when the tide was out for hunting for crabs and beasties. History was made when I even swam in the incredibly warm sea.
In the evening Moira reached into her bottomless store of dinner party games and we introduced the girls to Ibble Dibble, where a blackend cork is twisted onto the face of any player who makes a mistake.
On Wednesday, with the sun still blazing, we had a cool walk in Powdermill Woods and then met up with two other families from school for a bbq and afternoon on the beach. We hardly saw the kids, who were in the sea for most of the day on inflatables.
On Thursday, Rob had to leave us to go to Croydon to take his Life in Britain test, something he had to pass in order to be allowed to apply for a visa extension and, later, if he wants it, citizenship. He had been worrying about it for weeks, as failure would have dire consequences. While we was gone, the rest of us went up to Hastings Country Park for a walk along the cliffs and a picnic. In the afternoon, we headed to the seafront for a rousing and often hilarious round of Adventure Golf and then Pirate Golf. The girls loved it, no doubt because they are very proficient cheats.
In the evening we celebrated Rob's successful pass with fizz on the deck, before walking into the Old Town with our beautiful girls for dinner at the Thai Bookshop.
The Mckendrys then left us on Friday to drive west to Hove to stay with Fraser's sister Moira and her partner Jackie and to reunite with his mum Nancy, who is over on hols from NZ. We joined them all on Saturday for a lovely bbq, before our final farewells. Another fantastic visit with lots of laughs.
Here is a little film I made of our great time together.
