We planned to got to Brighton today… and at the beginning of October I don’t think it would have been much of a problem.

However, the problem is, we are experiencing a mini heatwave before winter descends upon us. With the terrible summer we had, everyone is making the most of it. So when we headed out at 11am… I knew it would be a nightmare… but we had to try as Jules really wanted to go to the VW Campervan show down there.

But after being stuck in traffic, we made a u-turn… and still had a lovely time.

We stopped at a huge park/common near Wallington and had a little picnic for Nora… as she was the only one who had her lunch prepared!

But it was just nice that she could run around… but she was a bit too small to join the other kids in the stream.

Next summer, we’ll have somewhere else to go to
