A special place

Tonight Shaun gets back on the plane after a short stop in Hong Kong, to head for the snowy climes of Ol' Blighty (brrrrrr!).

He'll be staying in a Sussex cottage that we stayed in last time and, I think it's fair to say, fell in love with.

Oh the loveliness of it. Here it is:




Last time, we had a certain 2yo boy with us. We discovered the joy of hiring a house when you travel with a young family. Quite the revelation! Brekkie? Easy. You want sausages for dinner? Can do. It was a smart move.

It's amazing to look back at the photos of that trip and see how little the Little Guy was back then (and also how spookily like his sister he looked then).

Shaun took him to this bluebell wood for a squirrel hunt...



He got to choose his first bag of mixed lollies from Ye Olde Lolly Shoppe or whatever it was called...



Freezing winds be damned, the boy got to eat icecream in a pub beer garden *with play equipment*. Loving that...



Ah, he was so little back then...

Oooo I remember that trip of yours (I think you went just before or after us when we travelled with our then 3 year old)...
