We all piled into two cars and went for a walk up the Sugar Loaf. Mum and Pam stayed with Emily and Fern on the low ridge above the car park while Fiona and I went to the top with Graham and Kate (Fi carrying Charlie in a carrier). It was a changeable day again and though warm in sheltered places it was downright chilly on the peak. We had wonderful views all around, with the Wrekin, Malverns, Cotswolds, Beacons and Bristol Channel all clear.
After lunch our visitors departed and Mum, Fi and I took the kids to Bailey Park for a short play. I also popped into Argos and exchanged the Ready Bed for a new one as I was fed up with it deflating every night. Emily has been coming into bed with me during each night and I wondered if it was because it had gone flat, but despite the new fully-functioning bed she still ended up in with me when I retired that evening.
It was the first clear night so Mum and I went out stargazing before bed. I ended up lying on the lawn for a full hour and did not see one meteor, even though the Perseids annual shower is under way. It was very cold and damp out there, but I did relish being outside with just the sounds of the night for company.
