Temperatures in the UK exceeded 40C for the first time ever yesterday, and many schools across the country were closed due to the extreme heat.

Stacey, who is mum to Zachary, 14, Leighton, 10, Rex, three, and Rose, nine months, has been taking advantage of her pool in her Essex home Pickle Cottage in recent weeks.

She previously posted a photo of her son Rex on the slide next to his younger sister Rose, telling her followers: "Feel so so lucky & grateful to have the pool. Especially in this weather".
