Hip hip Holiday

This is setting out to be quite an odd year

Previously holidays meant a huge minibus and booking something for nine. It was like taking a village on tour. Last Sunday we had a rare family excursion to see Little Rumba play a gig in town, 7 of us was a big part of the audience of about 60!

Life has turned very different very quickly, some days we have a quiet house of 5, next day our children come home, bringing girlfriends and boyfriends and the house is transformed to 11. That's providing Serenity has not decided to invite herself for tea which adds another 6!!

This year the vexatious issue of holidays is being decided, it's a toughie really. None of the kids are in funds and only little D of the  looked after young people has holiday money. That's a bit of tough love as Big D  decided not to bother with applying for jobs, so of course we are applying a bit of "broke" therapy.

The student and I have looked at doing some festivals, there are some really great looking ones in Brittany. With little D off to Scotland with youth club for a week we are looking to see where we could go while he is away
