We have just returned from one of those holidays that inspires a nostalgic sigh.
We spent a week in a bungalow by the sea in Selsey. The idea was that we would be on the seafront, near Sarah in Chichester and would take the in-laws as their Xmas present. Dad was meant to be looking after the dog but as his dog sitting services were no longer required we invited him with us too.
The name “bungalow” doesn’t really do the place justice as it suggests a small , flat house but it was enormous.
5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a games room in the converted garage, a massive kitchen, lounge-diner and 2 garden areas. It had panoramic views over the sea and steps down to the shingle beach. Fan-blooming-tastic.
Had we had the weather of two weeks ago it would have been totally heavenly for me anyway.
The kids seemed to enjoy it and were generally fairly well-behaved. They got plenty of fresh air, although there were a couple of ridiculously windy days, and being by the sea we had no shelter, so they couldn’t play out much on these days.
J, dad and I took them to Peppa Pig World on the Wednesday. PPW was already really packed when we got there and after queuing for the best part of an hour to get on George’s Dinosaur ride we decided to take a look at the rest of the park. A great idea as it turned out as the rest of the park was much quieter. Jack loves roller coasters, a real adrenaline junkie but hates the people dressed up as characters…Rachel is totally contradictory and loves flying high on the swing rides, no longer likes the roller coaster she loved last time and screamed in complete fear on the log flume but then got off and claimed she hadn’t!
Later on we returned to PPW and it had quieted down a lot, so we managed to get on a couple more rides in there and the kids played in Mr Potatoes playground for a while before we had to head back.
