Today is August Bank Holiday – the traditional day to go to the seaside, eat too much ice cream and get seriously sunburnt!
Today, however, is predicted to be the coldest August Bank Holiday since records began, and with the current high winds, low temperatures and lockdown it seems more like November…
The remnants of storms Ellen and Francis mean that it's too gusty and cold for the children to play in the Beach Hut in the garden – or even go outside at all without risking being blown away!
However, I was not prepared to be confronted by a lot of plush toys demanding that Xmas should be brought forward.
I'm already nervous enough about doing Xmas in lockdown, without having to do it next week!
The children say they're bored of the pandemic and that it feels like several years since last Xmas, and now that it's getting colder they're apparently starting to feel 'Well Xmassy!' – they even want to get the decorations down from the loft!
Nothing in my past life has prepared me for a demand for Xmas in September, and I don't really know how to handle it…
