Our break at Center Parcs was the best yet. The children are able to join in with more activities every year we go and we certainly filled all our available time there. Sam’s favourite was the water slides. Sophie’s was roller-skating. We had a babysitter every night and made use of our kids-free time using the spa twice, eating out on our 8th wedding anniversary and doing the waterslides in the dark on the last night. Sam reported how sad it was that we had to go home. Sophie woke us up in the middle of our first night back in tears that we were no longer there! (And Evie woke us up being very snotty!)
Today my two brothers ran in the 10k Cancer Research run at Hatfield House – along with our next door neighbours Mel & Rob. Around two thousand people did the run and it was moving to see that most of them knew someone affected by cancer – by having their names written on the back of their T-shirts. For my brothers it’s all training for the London marathon next April. When they get their online sponsorship link sorted out, I’ll put it on this blog as they need to raise lots more money for Cancer Research!
