It's just one big QVC family all over Europe

I'm back in the UK at last after travels to two countries in as many weeks!! It's great going away but it's even nicer coming home isn’t it?

Well, it's not great opening the suitcases full of two and a half weeks worth of sandy, damp clothes that all need washing. The poor old washing machine has been doing over-time since my return, and forget about all that ironing…YIKES! I’ve drafted in some serious help.

QVC fan to the rescue

A very lovely QVC customer came to my aid whilst I was having a serious dilemma prior to my trip to Copenhagen. The lovely Brit at Gatwick airport spotted me having a minor tantrum after our flight was messed up. Over came Brit and said, "I know who you are, gosh I buy most of your jewellery, can I help you out?"

I took one look at her friendly face and airline uniform and thanked my lucky stars. She told everybody who was trying to sort it out to leave it and she just took over and sorted everything. Wow, what a service!

Easter fun on the beach at Sandbanks

We have just spent the Easter holiday at Sandbanks in Dorset, in a hotel right on the sandy beach. What fun we had making sandcastles and playing beach cricket. Steven kept whacking the ball right up into the sky and seeing if I could catch it. It went plop onto the sand every time (I blamed the sun). Then Zak our son had a go and caught it every time.  The sea was cold but it didn’t stop the children from wading in.  I got buried in the sand by Zak who was on track to dig a hole to Australia. See the photo of us in the hole.
 
The atmosphere amongst all the guests was so warm and friendly because the sun was out and it lifted everyone’s spirits. There is something magical about the British coastline and I now long to live by the sea. At night I was just zonked, after spending the day running around and swimming in the pool with the children and then monitoring their activities during the evening's entertainment. By the time it got to 9pm I was ready for bed, but the children weren’t!.
 
Driving home in the car on Monday night, the children recollected their stay and described their most favourite times. The sweetest thing Isabella our daughter said was ‘just spending the time together was my best bit’.  Family time is so precious isn’t it? 

See you soon.
