The Attridges

 "Is the most wonderful time of the year" In particular when time is spent with you three.....  Colchester Zoo; behind the scenes is just the best combination. Love you boys  Mum & Dad

  Our first time in our new holiday home ....  Seeing you Ben out on the paddle board; even better when we went to the secret beach on the kayak was a real joy.  It was just brilliant and something I will always remember. Lemmy; I loved the paintings you did of the hills - the sheep and the clouds lifted my heart and I just love them. Brilliant Dan; I love digging holes and balancing stones with you - could not think of a better way to spend the day. Devon is for us a place to reconnect and be a family; its going to take some practise to get it right but we hope that we can practice this a lot; for we would not rather be anywhere else other than with you all P.S Sophie - it was lovely to have you there; 5's a crowd ;) - 6 is a family xxxx

Alexander - getting this on the blog super quick. You deserve more but to make sure we capture this moment and not lose it St Ed's acceptance.  boom! music - boom (double boom) mum, me so so proud of you Vanessa was over the moon too..... go you. believe - you can do anything. mum and dad  xxxx

All..... Mum & Dad XXX

Each year we come and stay in Hope Cove, this year more than most it has been a welcome break.  Covid 19 is still very much at large, with social distancing and restrictions meaning it was touch and go if we could even make the journey. Thankfully restrictions have lifted and here we all are for 3 weeks.   Boys - we hope you will have fond memories of these holidays, time to play and pretty much do nothing giving a break from the busy time we all have the rest of the year.   Lemmy, your paddle boarding is ace. Dan, anti - zombie sandcastles are the best and Ben, well - we would let you just eat ice cream and sweets all day but that would just be bad parenting..... Sophie - always lovely to see you :)  and wish you could stay longer (P.s - happy birthday Lemmy)

Ben, Alex and Daniel. A day of two halves today Fun in the park, taking you all for a scooter.  Despite young Alex losing your temper at tennis - I wonder if you will ever remember throwing the tennis ball at Bens head?   It was a great shot by the way..... At the park - sweets, tree climbing and a bit of scootering I’m glad I took you all to the park now - despite the earlier little loss of temper.... Until Getting into the car and some argument over doors, seats and young Alex and Daniel are causing all sorts.  Banging the car door - that’s the end of the day for everyone. Oh how I wish we could have a day of ‘normal’ :) All was not lost. All forgiven, big roast dinner and lollies to finish the day Love you all Dad
