we stopped off on the way at a lovely beach for a picnic, but no loitering for us as it was sooo hot, there was no shade and everyone was already a bit overcooked from the day before’s beach jaunt.

a jolly good holiday, and we’ll definitely be heading back up there now we know it’s so close.

(and thanks  again to andrew and julie for letting me include some of their photos anonymously with mine over the last few weeks)
