Summer 2024

9 August 2024

Time for some holiday snaps! We have been camping, visiting local beaches and staying in Ventnor for a few days. All cheap fun of course. It was first time camping with our dog Otter too, I'm proud to report that she didn't steal anyone's breakfast or ransack anyone's tent.

It's amazing to see how much the kids have grown since we last visited this farm! I had to buy a larger tent, and found this one quite cheap. The sunsets at Compton Farm never fail either, it's the most peaceful place to come to and also very near our home.
(apologies these photos are all out of sequence!)












At my mum's flat, they made a surprise cake to celebrate the 4th birthday of Only Through Shadows.
I'm so grateful my jewellery business has supported us all this time, it is the best job ever! 



(Don't worry, that dog lick was a failed attempt).

We've had some epic walks around the south of the Island, including Bonchurch and Orchard Bay.





Always hard to get a photo of everyone at once.






Little P is little no longer, and will be starting at Secondary school next month! Really can't get my head around that.






I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, wherever you are xx
