Friday's Hunt and Weekend Reflections

Once again it is time for Friday’s Hunt and Weekend Reflections and this week the word prompts are the letter D, Favourite and Summer/ Winter. As most of you know by now, my family are home on holidays from Malawi and we have just come back from staying at my old caravan.  It is in a field, all on its own in the countryside yet over looking the sea and although it has no facilities, we love it.  These shots were taken around the caravan area. 
A plus was that the weather, at least for these few days of SUMMER was brilliant.  My FAVOURITE is  the video at the end of this post.



D is for my DAUGHTER Judith and grandDAUGHTER Annika, and grandson DANIEL



 Over looking the caravan is Sketrick Island which is accessed by a causeway, so we walked round the island and saw 2 DONKEYS and picked a contain of DELICIOUS Cherries.






The children had bought a bag of jelly sweet and there were 4 tongues so they insisted we all had a photograph with our tongues sticking out!! DAFT!





At the sea there was a Little Egret with a refection








 When the children got home they  made a bee line to see if Honey and Maple were OK in my sumerhouse.  Four DARLINGS!

I am linking with Weekend Reflections and Friday's Hunt     

Although I will be publishing scheduled posts, I will NOT be commenting on blogs until after 31 July as my family is home from Malawi.


Hopefully you will find time to read some of the posts during this time and I hope to read as many of your as time premits.  
Thanks you to those people who leave comments.

  1. This is my favorite post of yours maybe ever!! Your video captures the pure joy of childhood! And the tongues shows that somehow in growing up, we seem to have lost our silly playful side. Your family are just gorgeous! I have never seen a more stunning family.

  27. Hi Margaret. Those donkeys are sooo cute. I haven't seen a donkey up close for ages. And see why those animals couldn't travel with them, they are huge! Our KP has a bed dog (a pillow) big like that.
