Tram Sunday & Hot Tub Heaven

Sunday, after a really lazy morning and then taking forever to get out of the house, (getting four kids ready to go anywhere can be a nightmare sometimes!) we finally managed to get to Tram Sunday. For those who don't know Tram Sunday is an annual event that is for vintage vehicles, trams, buses, cars etc, but over the years they have incorporated lots of stalls and entertainment. Its a great day out. Its things like this that mark the year out for us, different events that we go to every year, its nice really to have these traditions. Recently i saw an advert for the annual Fireworks Championships that are held every year in Blackpool in September and immediately i felt a little shiver of anticipation, for a brief moment i could smell the autumn air and feel that chill in the air as we sit to watch them. I love all the seasons for various reasons and its usually the events i look forward to.

Sooo anyway Tram Sunday, this year was better than previous years and they had a company called Left Coast provide entertainment, well performance art is what you would call it, they had an amazing parade of what can only be described as alternative instruments.. for example a milk van covered in milk bottles and a musician playing them and making music.

A VW camper van, yes we would love one, but the van we have is the same in New Zealand as what a vw is to us in uk, that's a google fact for you!  so we are going to "pimp it up" at some point so its a proper day camper, like this. I took a pic of the inside ( didn't come out well), it was all quite vintage, floral and polka dot.

You can't really see but Molly has what we call " her disco" clothes on. Molly and i decided that we would wear what makes us happy on our Sunday out, so i wore a Collectif  dress with a full circle skirt, not a great idea when it was quite windy, so i had to walk round holding my skirt down!

I was glad to get home after walking round for hours and we are lucky as we have a new addition to our garden.....

Yay.. a Hot Tub Spa

Even Paul is enjoying it

Yes many happy nights will be spent in our tub now!

The kids also loving it

Molly, takes after me and is happy it sit in it for hours. I have been in it every evening since we got it ( apart from tonight, as i have over chlorinated it and will have to wait till tomorrow).

That all for now x
