Back to Work Blues

here at RFM HQ the RFM elves have been on holiday for the last 2 weeks, so it's "back to work tomorrow" Sunday. Yuk!

aftermath of the "snow ball" fight

tractor racing at Castle Ward

For the last week we've had lots of relatives home from near & far, so we've had some great family get togethers, & a few days of chill out time. We spent most of the first week of our holidays camping at Castle Ward, a National Trust property in a fabulous setting, on the shores of Strangford Lough.
The weather was mostly kind to us, with just one night of continuous rain, which saw some fellow campers leave in a pretty soggy state the next morning! Thankfully, our trusty Vango stood up to the downpour no problems. Course, there's nothing like finding that the kids have decided to have a paper "snow ball" fight, the morning that you are trying to pack up everything to go home!
The kids had a great time - with the Monday being a public holiday in NI, a huge "pirates picnic" event had been laid on, so there were lots of pirates - young & old - wandering about. There's lots of lovely walks around the estate, and plenty for kids to do - as you can see, tractor racing was a particular favourite.

On the Rock Face Minerals front, work continues on the new website - fingers crossed I get it ready for launch in the next few weeks. In the meantime, the Rock Face Minerals eyeshadows and lipbalm have got a rave review by beauty blogger, MayLovesMakeup.Also check out the Charity Blog Sale - there's some lovely things (including some Rock Face Minerals products) which will be auctioned, for 2 great causes.
