The Houghtons go on holiday!

Back from a wonderful break down by the stunning Pembrokeshire coast on our first holiday as a family. Will had a terrific time, he went on a speedboat (fell asleep), paddled in the sea (screamed), and spent much of the trip strapped to Eddie’s front gurgling away happily as we tootled along the coast paths and climbed the mountains nearby.
Fortunately we had good weather, but I cannot believe the amount of paraphenalia we have to take with us now we have Will. In days of yore all we needed were a couple of beach towels and some Factor 2, but now we’ve got bags of kit + the all essential SPF 50+ tent. Not great for the tan, but better that than a burned boy. Eventually we got pretty expert and packing everything we needed, most importantly Will’s feeds. He had lunch in some pretty spectacular places.
I seriously underestimated how knackering going on holiday with a small baby was going to be. It’s actually quite nice to be at home – we can finally get some much needed R&R.
