It’s Summer – Day 6

Posted on July 16, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

Back home after a few days away in the camper van. It’s been great to start to relax, although the first week of the break is always trying to switch off from work and getting mentally un-tired – is that a thing? It was so easy to pack up with the campervan and leave the … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 5

Posted on July 15, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

Obviously in need of a lazy morning. 10:00 before we woke up and when camping, be it in a tent or campervan, that has to be almost unheard of. It also took a bit to wake up Dan who was happily still in the land of Nod. The weather hasn’t been quite what it promised … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 4

Another day cycling but this time we headed over to Carsington Water to complete the 12 km loop on our bikes. I’d certainly recommend going around anticlockwise as that gets the hills out of the way for the first half of the loop and it finishes with a reasonably flat second half – that is … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 3

The first weekday of the summer break is over now and going away in the first week is something I’ve found really helps to get out of school mode and towards one where you enjoy some important things in life. Today we cycled some of the Tissington trail. The weather was not promising to be … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 2

Back in the camper van and setup near Ashbourne. The first break of the summer holidays and one that is much needed. There was a little lie in this morning, but not much. With Everton on tv at 12:00 and the van to pack, it was a busy morning. The first half for Everton was … Continue reading →

It’s Summer – Day 1

Day one of the official summer break here for Leicester and the surrounding area. With a local lockdown, that means not a great deal of change for many – the status quo. For those of us that live outside of the boundary we can go and do some things. Whilst somewhat dazed in the state … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 70

I don’t want to be perfect – I want to be different. Dan Those are the words of a 9 year old boy after telling him, he has been brilliant in the current covid situation, getting on, taking part and being patient when I’ve needed to do my job, in my school. I suggested and … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 69

Even when you’re really tired, the completion of a job really does feel good and give you a boost. That said, I’m tired and about to sleep. In fact I’m that tired my sister called me today and I’ve just realised at 23:40 – sorry Bev. So one more day of school left and then … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 68

Good morning Mr Kite – you look exhausted. Nice start to the morning and thank you; I didn’t realise I looked so bad. It has been a tiring few weeks especially, but the end is near and a chance to catch up, rest and be ready to go again. I think the demands of being … Continue reading →
