Curmudgeon?

I love children, but it’s nice to have less of them around on the holiday centres now they’re all back at school. I know one of our sites exists to attract families, especially those with young children, but my work life just seems to be easier when there aren’t hundreds of over-excited, holidaying sproglets racing around everywhere, making me feel like everything is a potential trip hazard and a potential company-ending lawsuit.

There has been a decidedly Autumnal feel to the mornings so far this week. Cool, damp, crisp air, with a definite changing of colour on the leaves and a noticeable lessening of birdsong. Probably exactly what we should expect in mid-September, but after the joy of the heat of last week it feels like a sudden step into a different season.

I’m proud of myself for being able to type this: I still haven’t bought a wetsuit.
