In more ways than one…<\/p>\n

My work is finished (i.e. my contract is complete, which actually I am quite sad about as it’s honestly been the most enjoyable stint of “real work” I think I have ever had), which of course means that school’s also out for us, as are the all important (parent-pleasing) reports.<\/p>\n

\"smiley<\/a><\/p>\n

And this in turn meant that (like last year) the moment school finished for the summer, we packed up the car and headed to Austria for a little break an hour and a half up the road from here in Natterersee<\/a>\u00a0(as is becoming very much a family tradition for us at this time of year it seems).<\/p>\n

Like much of Europe, we are in the midst of a heatwave, so everything’s a little hot and unbearable at the moment, even high up in the Austrian mountains. \u00a0 \u00a0Thankfully we kept our cool in the shade, and by frequent lake swimming sessions.<\/p>\n

Days were spent relaxing, swimming, exploring Innsbruck<\/a> (which looks much more fetching in the sun!) and ice-cream sampling; whilst evenings were spent sunset admiring, \u00a0playing Bananagrams, counting hundreds of fireflies at night (not that obliging when it came to posing for photographs) and telling jokes with Grandparents \u00a0(childhood summer memories aplenty), before they bade us a fond farewell and headed off down to Garda on yet another grandparent grand tour!<\/p>\n

And also very much like last year, Natterersee<\/a> was a pure delight. \u00a0 It’s not no.2 in the top 15 campsites in Austria for nothing you know. \u00a0 They are also branching out in terms of accommodation, so instead of the static mobile home option we usually go for, should we be here next year we might opt for one of the huge new African style Safari tents instead…<\/p>\n

Glad to see the millions of tiny #natterersee frogs still thriving! :)<\/a><\/p>\n

It was also nice to see the tiny frog guardians still in residence too! \u00a0 Until next time little green friends…<\/p>\n
