Beautiful day in Hove and Brighton with the family and that of @lisa_lloydpaper. Bike ride along the promenade, ice creams on the beach, lunch and playgrounds on the front, fairground rides on the pier and a few other little treats for the kids along the way. 5yo boy summed it up beautifully as I lovingly carried him home, “That was the worst day ever,” he said. Then added “I hate you Mummy” as an afterthought. 
Looking after children: the hardest but most rewarding job I’ve ever had. Except they keep forgetting to be rewarding.
