British schools finish for the summer in mid-late July depending on the area
Once it’s over, there will be NO MORE weekend activities for me! Just TV series and nice drinks at home!!!... Oh wait, we’ll also have daughter’s 6th birthday in a couple of weeks... And I’m taking pictures of the annual farm animal fair on another weekend... Oh no, I just can’t get a break!!! [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
Handsome!
Aw, your girls missed you!
Hey, wouldn’t it be strange if Kelly got more excited than Suki?
Glad to know you’ve made it back safe.
It’s a holiday weekend in the UK too, but not here in Norway. It’s our last day today - we head home this afternoon.
Back home some places have suffered flooding during big storms. Part of Birmingham had 58mm (Well over 1 inch) of rain in an hour. A cousin of JoesDad had water up to the doorstep
Luckily our house won’t flood. It’s at the top of a hill; if it flooded arks would be needed in the rest of the county.
We had Whitsun the week before. I’m quite sure so did the Norwegians.
Hope everyone is safe in the UK...
Which reminds me that I thought of Adam as I took a photo of this street food van yesterday... dreadful pun

The Danes finish end of June. And start again mid-August.
In the Russian school system we’d finish end of May and not return until September 1!
Now those pictures look like you are having a great time. Even dressed the part. Beautiful hotel. And there is this handsome man in the third picture. Do you know him, and is he enjoying his holiday?
Lol, Was that done on purpose. Very clever thinking.It’s a holiday weekend in the UK too, but not here in Norway. It’s our last day today - we head home this afternoon.

I thought that was what Clunker was for? Is he not doing his job? Or is he like his Daddy and has too many projects on the go?

That’s a long break in Russia! Here it’s 6 weeks starting mid July-ish in England & Wales... so they go back early September.
In Scotland they finish at the end of June and go back mid August ... I have no idea why, but it’s always been that way
At first I liked your post and was going to sroll past it, then I realised what the picture was. Soooo, I saw that (As Bea likes to say)Yikes!
Big Kisses. It will get better ....someday!Once it’s over, there will be NO MORE weekend activities for me! Just TV series and nice drinks at home!!!...

Not entirely, but the River Medway is prone to flooding so being away from that was a factor. What we hadn’t realised was how houses at the bottom of our little hill can be subject to flash floods in bad storms as the road turns into a river. We are lucky we chose a house at the top; we did look at one at the bottom!
Our schools finish 22/06/2018 and start again on 17/07/2018. I wish I was still at school, so that I could get the long holidays as well.The Danes finish end of June. And start again mid-August.
That was a lucky choice then. Good thing you took the house at the top and not at the bottom. But then again I have always heard that it is always better to be at the top rather than at the bottom.
That was one top choice!
“Long” holidays?? That’s less than a month!
No one tops Russia, of course, with their 3 months of the summer holiday, but also in Turkey they finish mid- or late June and can start early in September — depending on the dates of the Eid.
