This year, we did something different for our summer holidays… We had our holiday in 3 parts. Because of family circumstances, it was better to stay close to home for a longer time, and DD wanted to go to a holiday camp. That camp week fell exactly in the middle of the summer holiday period, so we planned the rest around it.

This meant our holiday was totally different from previous years, but very enjoyable!

Holiday – Part 1 

We started the holiday with a few days at home and then moved into my sister and brother-in-law’s house for a week. They live on a fantastic spot, less than 4 km from the sea! My mother lives around the corner and my old granny is only 3 km away by bike.

It was a week full of sunshine, sea and family!

We lucked out on the weather, and even though it was overcast sometimes, we went out every day and really enjoyed the sun! One of the things that made it really feel like a holiday was that we did everything by bike that week.

The car stayed in the driveway, and we took the bike to go to the shops, visit villages, to see my old granny and to go to the beach…

DD also celebrated her 11th birthday! It was a modest party, with grandma and old granny…

I also crocheted a little bit, but this week was mostly about cycling, flying kites, swimming in the sea and lots of reading!

It was a great first holiday week! It got us ready for the second part of our holiday… (More about that tomorrow!)
