We arrived back in the UK last Saturday morning after leaving South Africa in 30° heat and walked off the plane at 6am into a rather chilly 2° morning - however it was really sunny with clear skies which helped. After collecting our bags, grabbing breakfast and changing into warmer clothes, we headed over to the car and made our way down south to Southwick where the weather changed to dull and cloudy with a downpour of hail. So needless to say we spent the day chilling at home, watching a couple of the Six Nations games on TV.

On the Sunday we felt we should get out of the house a bit and drove over to Widewater Lagoon beach for a bit of a wander with pooch coming along too:)

This past week has been rather busy at home, with me still off work trying to get as much house and DIY work done as possible before starting with the new job next Monday. We had Daniel the painter in on Monday and Tuesday, and between myself and Una managed to crack on with bits and pieces around the house to start making it more homely and less of a building site :)
