I still remember when I lived in London, when there was the merest glimmer of sunshine, and I mean mere, and all the locals would strip off and lie in a deckchair in Green Park. And it was freezing - and I come from Wellington, so that is saying something! You're right - the trick is to embrace it!Amanda (Small Acorns)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04090007601440404545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-31461711103696641122010-08-02T20:38:52.661+10:002010-08-02T20:38:52.661+10:00Hi Melissa,

Hence why it always forms a comment when I blog! I am slightly obsessed! School holidays are strange though aren't they? When we have good days I congratulate myself on being a 'good' parent but then those less than good days sneak in and I wonder where I am going wrong. The key is to keep it simple...but that's easier said than done. One year we went to Cornwall and it rained and rained all week. The kids had the best time rock-pooling and I realised they genuinely DON"T CARE when it rains...Good for them, Lou xLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457538074763854583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-5776179842930812122010-07-30T06:47:57.352+10:002010-07-30T06:47:57.352+10:00A bit of blummin sunshine would be nice, but as it...A bit of blummin sunshine would be nice, but as it's the school hols it's more likely to rain and make us all a bit grumpy.French Knotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14151593113968041304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-11544074900981733862010-07-30T06:39:31.026+10:002010-07-30T06:39:31.026+10:00The thing about children is they don't care ab...The thing about children is they don't care about the weather. They are just as happy splashing in puddles as they are splashing in the pool. I remember begging my mum to let me go and play in the garden when it was chucking it down with rain. If you are an outdoors sort of person then don't worry about the weather, just go outside and enjoy. I actually think the weather's been OK this summer in the UK! Much better than last year!PhotoPuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208041274634842414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-27531621761940812902010-07-30T01:15:54.633+10:002010-07-30T01:15:54.633+10:00melissa-

But you know, all you have to do is watch the news one night to know that we are fabulous parents!!! Everyone has their bad days .. its just normal! I think its good for kids to see that also. I think that they need to learn that its okay to not be totally happy and on top of the world every day, and observing us deal with that is how they learn to cope with their own negative emotions. Dont doubt yourself for one second; you are an awesome mummy!! I can tell just by the loving photography of your little ones; each picture is just so full of ... well, love. Your kiddies are so fortunate to have you! (dont get my started on my upbringing!! - thankfully things have changed so much in the past 30 years!!!!) But i can sympathise with you re. the weather! I would be in a total depression if I had to live with UK weather again. I am NOT a winter person at all!!<br />I hope you are having a gorgeous day today beautiful lady!!<br />hugs from LauraxxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809886402117539391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-58686603601503863162010-07-29T22:11:31.813+10:002010-07-29T22:11:31.813+10:00I know that English weather is not that great but ...I know that English weather is not that great but if it makes you feel any better it has been raining most of the week here and it is cold! School pick-ups have not been much fun and tennis was rained out after school! OK are you feeling a little better? Open those doors and let the neighbors smell your baking!
