Saturday scorcher and slow Sunday

After a week of record breaking heat, I was surprised when Saturday arrived and it was still blazing hot. Any normal person would have just gone to the beach for the day, and I probably would have done that but it was Armed Forces Day, and because we have so much going on at the seafront on Armed Forces day it’s a crazy place to be. So, we decided to wander off to Helmsley instead.

I took the opportunity to wear my new outfit. It’s so comfortable I think it will be a summer staple! Unsurprisingly Helmsley wasn’t too busy, just incredibly hot. I’ve written about Helmsley many times on here, so I won’t bore you too much but essentially, it was a day of sipping iced coffees and wandering.

Sunday was starting to cool a little, and thankfully we had no plans aside from having a restful day. Several weeks ago I bought a set of 6 paint by numbers sets from DIY art club. Mum and little Miss had both had an opportunity to start one, but I didn’t until now. I set up the garden table and me and little Miss spent a couple of hours painting.

I think these kits are fabulous. I’ll definitely be buying more, and it was such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Aside from that, we had a nice chicken dinner, early baths and a generally chilled day. Not something I can often say, so it’s much appreciated when it does happen.
