Summer Holidays

Well, I've missed my once a week blogging target again, & my excuse this time is that it's the summer holidays. This time last week we were camping in the Mourne mountains (lots of lovely mourne heather about), & having a great time dodging rain showers & being bitten by midgeys. In between the rain showers, we had glorious sunshine, & despite my factor 30 sunscreen, my arms came out in a very fetching heat rash. Of course, I still managed to look gorgeous with my trusty Rock Face Minerals products - I love the fact that mineral foundation doesn't slide off your face in the sun & the rain, & with natural broad spectrum sunscreens, it helps to protect your face from the sun. Unfortunately this pic of me is pre-makeup - my Mum took it (yes - now at the "holidaying with the parents" stage of life) of me catching a wee bit of shuteye while giving #2 son his bottle - he was teething last week too, bless him! Having a toddler throwing up at 3am just adds to the fun of camping, I reckon. All that & it was still the best holiday ever!
