We are very lucky in that we like where we live or this week could have been a bit of a drag!<br />
<br />
Here are 7 reasons to love where we live:<br />
<br />
Actually here are 100 reasons to love our manor this week. 100+ Aston Martins in the shadow of our favourite house in the county, Burghley House.<br />
<br />
The Wee One out did himself by having a tantrum in the middle of the grand circle of astonishingly luxurious cars, shouting and screaming that he wanted to buy one. Explaining he only had £1.27 in his piggy bank did little to appease him. On sympathetic owner kindly explained that it had taken him 50 years to save up for his Aston Martin so if the Wee One kept saving his pocket money, maybe he could buy one by the time he is 50 too.<br />

We make our own sherry. No, we don't but the weather has been so perfect in our little micro climate that a chilled sherry as I was working one evening made perfect sense.<br />

The county is pretty flat which makes learning to ride a bike that little bit easier. By the way, she taught herself to ride a bike on Friday in a friend's garden. She went from not even wanting to sit on a bike, to one lesson with Daddy with a reassuring grip on the saddle, to riding the full length of the garden unaided. Seriously, how does that even happen?<br />

The town is so small that I have taken a photo of every single view, except this one. It was going to be a view of the sky, but the Wee One wanted a selfie and then I photobombed my own shot!<br />

Summer holidays already!<br />
And I know the next 6 weeks will fly by and I'll be saying "Back to school already!".<br />
<br />
But there will obviously also be days that drag with boredom, where the kids have forgotten how to use their own imagination and where I have to squeeze in some work at home. I don't subscribe to the school of filling my children's days for them with an agenda of activities, day trips and play dates. I am happy to point to the garden and say, "There you go. Play." and see what their imaginations can come up with using a broom, a football and a flowerpot. Please don't think that those are their only toys. They can use the washing line too if they want.<br />
<br />
I want them to have fun, and when we can, we will be taking trips, seeing friends and going on outings. But I also want them to have the freedom to use their imagination and 6 long weeks of summer seems like a great time to do so. <br />
<br />
Who needs any toys when you can run in the rain!</div>

I am in danger of meeting myself coming back and ... I almost missed a photo a day.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
It was 11.54pm. I was crawling into bed and I realised that my iPhone camera had lain dormant all day. Rushing here, rushing there, admiring a view on my commute but not a spare moment to stop to capture it. A funny expression caught in my minds eye but not by the lens of a camera. But I remembered, just. Hence a lame photo of books on my bedside table that I am too tired to read. </div>
