I had five things on my Summer Check List at the beginning of the Summer holidays … here’s how we got on with them:
Try a new ice cream flavour: During a walk in Notting Hill, The Boy Child surprised me by requesting salted caramel ice cream (the only other options available were vanilla or chocolate).
Watch a film from when I was a girl: I was all for introducing The Boy Child to the magic that is Grease. Didn’t happen.
Put The Boy Child in charge of the photography for a day: Ok, so it might not have been for a whole day, but there were several times where I gave my iPhone X or my dSLR to The Boy Child and asked him to take the shot. He did a good job.
Have a guilt-free at home day: We didn’t have too many of these, but of the ones we did have, they were fairly successful. Of course, an at home day means that Tilly still needs a walk and the Summer journal still needs to be completed.
Ignore the bed time routine for once: The Boy Child’s bedtime routine was fairly relaxed throughout the Summer, but I did give him the choice of choosing his own bedtime once. He chose the night we attended our second wedding of the Summer and went to bed at 00.45 hours.
It sounds like a pretty good summer & we your readers certainly benefited with all the great photos & posts. When TBC gets back to class to share his summer journal, he’s not going to be one of those students that says to the teacher “check my F/B page” (lol).

The teacher was probably a little surprised when I sent in a note asking him to mark it in any way … (No FB pages in our house)
