We head to the beach and my husband and kids have a paddle and swim. It starts to get cold and wet so we head back to the van to watch a movie. I have a 30 minute power nap!

We grab pulled pork, rice and salad from the onsite café for dinner, have a walk on the beach for around 30 minutes and head to bed as it feels damp and there’s a storm coming. Bedtime is around 9.30pm as it’s colder with lights out at 10pm. I sleep well and don’t wake up throughout the night. I don’t set an alarm.

Day 3

Today is our final day of holiday so we are up early. Packing up can be a bit stressful as we need to be offsite by 10.30am; we are up and dressed by 9.30am so it’s a quick turnaround!

I have some M&S sugar free museli with oat milk to keep me going and then a smoothie bowl around 11am as a brunch. We spend the day at the beach, body boarding and enjoying the sunshine!

We don’t get home until late – it’s 7pm when we walk through the door. I’m really tired but I start emptying the van (and all the mess).

I make tacos with some pulled beef from M&S for dinner, with fresh tomatoes, picked onion, avocado and sour cream. We don’t eat until 8.30pm, after which I have a shower and fall into bed at 9.30pm. I’m so tired and happy to be in my bed (with fresh sheets). I sleep really well but wake up groggy as it’s the best sleep of the week.
