Well if you blinked you may have missed it!! Fingers crossed for the good weather to return but for those of you lucky enough to be travelling to more favourable climates don't forget to pack those travel essentials.

And a personal recommendation - Sudocrem sun mousse at £7.99 in store for spf 50. (usuall rrp £14.99) I have 2 little monsters both under four, and during that hot spell both were 14hrs in the garden running around, jumping in the pool and generally getting well "baked". For those who don't know me I'm a bit of a ginger, as are my children and neither of them burnt at all. They didn't complain when having to get covered in the cream, in fact my little girl insisted on applying herself!

No smell, no whiteness, very water proof. Excellent stuff!

So enjoy the rest of the summer, and keep safe in the sun

Stay healthy
