    Ive had an amazing afternoon :) Took Bea swimming and OH took her in the pool so I got to watch and listen to some tunes on my ipod. Then went to meet best friend and her children at the beach. Its an unknown beach and so it doesn't get any tourists , clear sea and so peaceful. The children played for hours, we sat in the sun and had a natter then had a picnic watching the sunset...Perfect end to first week at school :)
