Floods, Grandparents and picnics

Well so far the summer holidays have been quite eventful. On the last day of term the heavens opened and Oxfordshire was flooded. We live on top of a slight hill, so we were all right but my parents were flooded. Well their house wasn't but the street looked like a river. There was another picture in the paper with my Father on it. We know it was him as we recognised his orange safety coat.

Mr Yoastie's parents were over for a long weekend. They coped with the fact that we drive on the correct side of the road. We did worry with regards to the flooding but most of it had subsided by the time they arrived. Also they drive a 4x4, so would probably have been all right anyway. The girls were thoroughly spoiled but it was a fun visit.

Today we went on a picnic with my best friend K. The little Yoasties were SO keen to start the picnic that we had it in K's back garden. We went to the park afterwards and tested the playground. My daughters did think K and I had lost the plot when we had a go on the merry-go-round. Well it was all I could do to stop K from going on the rope-slide :-)
