What a day ....

... it's been!  We've been really busy, but had fun.  We got to the local hospital quite early this morning - there are no appointments for blood tests, you just arrive and pick up a number and wait to be called in.  Last week we were in and out in about 20 minutes.  Today, it took over an hour!!

We had a lovely time exploring the local market - checking out various clothing stalls, looking into a few shops, calling into my local craft shop (that's obligatory) and finally popping into the library.  Kathryn likes to take part in the summer Reading Challenge which is run nationally in all libraries.  This year the theme is Circus Stars - they've got a website too - a fun way to while away a rainy day!  Kathryn picked her first two books and is already well into one of them!  Seems that a love of reading runs in the family :)

This evening was Kathryn's last chance to rehearse her dances for tomorrow's show - she's can't wait!  And do you know, today was beautiful - the sun shone, it was warm - it actually felt like summer!  Loved it.

I've discovered that one of my favourite challenges is taking a summer holiday - the One Layer Wednesday challenge, jointly hosted by Susan and Jennifer is taking a break until 7th September!  I hope the ladies have a well earned rest!
