Day 234: what better way to end Sunday lunch than with a crumble using blackberries the children picked in our garden. Also a bit of a miracle that any survived the sword assaults from Matthew over the last few months 🙂

Day 235: the cygnets are huge! We were a bit traumatised as one of the parents went off to attack and possibly drown another swan while this photo was taken 🙁

Day 236: I have a new favourite product: Moskinto to soothe bug bites. This year has been unbelievable in terms of how many mosquitos have been around and we’ve all been getting bites everyday. These patches worked so well to stop the itching.

Day 237: we’ve been indoors a lot due to the bugs so summer has sort of bypassed us! Walking near our house today I spotted these gorgeous sunflowers

Day 238: exploring Rochester and peeking at the cathedral from the castle

Day 239: a day out in Dymchurch for my MIL’s birthday. We went along to the beach without swimwear as we thought it would be too cold…it wasn’t and they all were wet from head to toe very quickly!

Day 240: learning about the Battle of Hastings on our trip to the battlefield and abbey
