August Bank Holiday Weekend'08

Monday this week is the last Bank holiday in Britain till the Christmas break. Although it was a 3 days weekend, it still felt too short for us.

Saturday:

We went for out first Cambridge house hunting trip. Looked at Soham and Ely. We targeted these two as they have schools with really good Ofted reports. Looked at Barratt and Persimmons newbuilts.

Soham was disappointing. It has next to no shops. NO TESCO. The nearest Tesco is 4.5 miles away. Just imagine. The village that call themselves a "town" has a very messy layout and the atmosphere is stale to say the least. Maybe that's why we are not cut out to live in a village. Ely was ok. It has a huge cathedral right in the town centre. Typical of Cambridgeshire. Unfortunately, the plot of newbuilt we saw was still in major construction for at least another year.

Anyway, it's back to the drawing board.

Sunday:

We brought Tobey to Gymboree free play in the morning. There were literally 3 kids there which was fantastic as he went on his favourite elevated planks (which was good to curb his fear of height), slides, and tunnel to his heart content. Worth every penny of that £3 an hour spent. After lunch and grocery shopping, we went back to do some DIY and gardening.

Monday:

More DIY. And an outing to Tobey's favourite place in the world- The Park, with his favourite person in the world- His Daddy. Here's some pics taken.

Tobey and SK (I love this pic as it captured how happy they are together)

A spot of footie (whilst I sat on the bench and chill...bliss..!)

Tired after football, playground and running around

Going home

The weather has been rather kind to us, heavy rain at night and sunshine in the day time. In fact, this has been a rather pleasant Summer. September is creeping up. That spells non-stop rain and chilly wind...brrrrr...hopefully it's not too harsh.
