Westward Ho! followed the Big Sheep. Didn't stay long as the tide was rapidly eating up the beach. We "lost" Oliver's swimming trunks!

Nicely sheltered from the wind Tim Jackson. OT with a bodyboard in the surf. Low tide in 1hr. Loads of time. http://twitpic.com/2dzju2

3pm at Tim Jackson. Can we see the sea? No, because we are sheltering in a tent from the wind and showers! @DevonCrapWeather

Off to Lynton & Lynmouth before the trip home.

Lynmouth 3G/GSM blackspot. But there is wi-fi!

Lynmouth 3G/GSM blackspot. Took 5.5 hours to get home. Curse the M5 and A303!

Always spending too much at IKEA. All new stuff for the new house.

Tears abound from Finlay after a visit to toysrus to buy his birthday presents. He chose them himself and is gutted that he cannot play yet!

I am most definitely losing both the plot and my marbles. :~}

It is Finlay's second birthday today (at 5.05pm). We are off to Finkley Farm Park. Cake and candles this afternoon.

In the bank transferring shedloads of cash ready for the house completion on Wednesday. Feeling poorer by the second!

Packing, Packing, Packing, Packing, Packing, Packing. Did I mention that we are packing!

#BritishBakeOff I think Sue Perkins is a lot happier now (after her maestro conducting win) more smiles less nervousness.

We are in the new house. All moved by 3pm. Boxes everywhere!

This Twitter feed @jmfDiary is going to be for my diary/journay entries. My main tweeting is still at @JMFTheVCI

Jools has taken OT to his father's and Finlay is along for the ride. Maisie is asleep. I am watching Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Practicing a scheduled tweet to the diary.

Just caught up of the latest eposiode of MofS. Well done indeed michael sheen 💙. Very moving.
