When do you know it's the hottest day of the year

You know it's the hottest day of the year when

• I wake up with sweat on the back of my neck at 3am and I've been sleeping with no covers on me anyway
• When you have a shower and 5 minutes later you know you need another one
• When the washing you hung out at 11:15 at night to dry the next day actually dries over night
• When most people are in work for 7:30 so they can finish early as the office becomes like an incubator as the temperature rises throughout the day

We're a little better off here as we are further north than places like London, but it's still going to be a hot one. Hope you all find a paddling pool somewhere to soak your weary feet, I may go and see the little guys with that idea in mind!!

Photos from camera

I love this first picture. It's shells that I picked up at the beach the other day...all so individual, unique...

OK, so I've gone a little mad with my digital camera and am just taking photos of everything at that moment!!

The photo in the post below is of Talacre Beach in Prestatyn where we took the youth last Tuesday. The sunset was amazing and I never imagined I'd be able to get a photo like that...it was a complete fluke!

Anyway here are some more below of when I went to a beach called Porth Trecastell or Cable Bay on Anglesey a week ago. The weather was amazing and there weren't that many people there. It reminds me of my teenage years as this was where we went on holiday in the caravan from when I was 11-18. I loved just walking along the shore and then going in knee deep in the water, it was so clear. I had such an awesome day....except I got sunburned! That wasn't so good.

I'll post some photos on the other blog of when I went to see Pride and Prejudice in Lyme Park....Amy you'll love the one of Mr Collins!
