Sorry your youngest daughter got a little bit too much sun. You need a little paddling pool in the shade with cool water in it. Then it seems like more fun when you are trying to cool kids down. It's 35C here today and two houses down from us there are 5 guys on the roof putting new shingles on. Don't envy them in this heat. They started at 7:00 to try and beat some of the heat but it soon heated up.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-71265887468479014702018-07-06T11:18:09.826+01:002018-07-06T11:18:09.826+01:00Probably best you didn't!

Summer is for being outside and your kids are better for it. My mom would tell us "come home when the street lights go on and not a moment earlier".Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-32064430954616741362018-07-03T17:40:34.991+01:002018-07-03T17:40:34.991+01:00I think we've got the lack of rain this year! ...I think we've got the lack of rain this year!

Not a bad thing is some ways as the garden needs less watering, but it makes it harder to get much outdoor work done when it's either rainy or muddy.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-16117575041503681632018-07-03T04:52:49.175+01:002018-07-03T04:52:49.175+01:00I too make Elderflower Champagne, and I've alw...I too make Elderflower Champagne, and I've always wondered how much alcohol there is in it.

Something you can usually get them to take without a fuss and keeps their stress level down (fun treat instead of emergency).
