I'm delighted to report that Bintan was very relaxing, if a little wet! This meant I didn't manage to capture quite the sunset I was anticipating (see above), but you can't have everything - guess it means we'll just have to go again! Despite the rain, we managed to swim everyday, both in the South China Sea (never thought I'd hear myself say that) and the pool. And we ate the most delicious food, beautifully presented, and the girls did some oil paintings...
Since we came back, I've been busy packing for our trip back to England - hurray!! This time tomorrow, the girls and I will be on our way, with Mr W following on. These last couple of days, I've been washing, packing and sorting, all whilst trying to entertain the girls, somewhat passively I'm afraid. Occasionally, there's been some grumbling on Pickle's part when I've asked her what she wants to take - I can apparently no longer be trusted to pack for her! We've managed to narrow it down to 3 pairs of shoes, all her bracelets and, of course, her graphic design pens. Betsy, on the other hand, has settled for the usual selection of things she must take on holiday - barbie (who will doubtless stay in her suitcase for the duration of our trip), miaowing cat and accompanying food, and a hello kitty fountain pen (a new, much prized possession) - all of which is hurled packed into her beloved trunki.
Whilst we're away, I'm not sure how much time I'll have to blog, but I'll do my best to write whenever I can, and will of course show and tell when I get back. So until then, wishing you a fabulous summer xx
