Reasons to be Cheerful

I've not been around for a while, my mental health has needed more attention than the blog, but I am at the stage I need to start acknowledging the small wins again.

Michelle at Mummy from the Heart started running the link up as a way for us to appreciate the small things in life. However, since my break from blogging she has passed over the reins to oJo over at oJo's World.

This week's Reasons to be Cheerful: 

• I had a good holiday, quite stressful in places, but lovely to be out in the sunshine, even if I'm paying the price now. 
• The sunshine, I always feel better when the weather is sunny and warm, don't you?
• I had a telephone call that I think I handled ok. Normally I email or snail mail, but I had problems that needed a point of contact and he wasn't good at getting back to me. I didn't get the answers I wanted but still, I managed a call.
• My daughter continues to amaze and astound me on a daily basis.
• The World Cup is on, we crashed out very early, but there's some great football being played.
• As always, people who matter, are around us.

So over to you, what have you been up to this week? 

What are your reasons to be cheerful? Do let me know.

Summer Sun

Myself, Daddy and Little Lady went to Blue Dolphin Caravan Park on holiday this week.

It was one of the Sun paper promotions, (please don't judge me!), and all we could afford after Daddy's redundancy last year. 

To be honest, we weren't expecting much, I mean one caravans much the same as any other. I remember staying a Primrose Valley as a kid, but I don't remember anything about the actual park.

Blue Dolphin is a Haven park and has a variety of activities on site, such as a fishing lake, playgrounds, sports centre, as well as the actual entertainment complex.

Although there are lots of activities available, either included or for a fee, that suited a variety of ages, only a couple seemed suitable for the age of Little Lady, and they seemed to be middle in the day. As we went out to various places, we didn't get to try them.

The site is great for exploring the East Coast. Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington, Robin Hood's Bay, and Flamborough are all within easy reach. There is a bus stop outside of the park, if you don't have a car / want to drive. 

Can you tell Little Lady likes to eat the sand?
