City kids run away to the country

For a morning anyway. And once they adapted to the concept of mud a jolly fine time was had by all yomping through the forests. Which was a good thing as we encouraged them to hold onto the memory of forest fun whilst sitting in a tailback returning to the overly popular metropolis.

The excitement of having a car for the day has caused Carl to rush through the house grabbing anything and everything he can to take to the tip. I'm taking a lazier approach to the afternoon buying Christmas presents online from the comfort of the sofa. I must remember to peel myself off later to collect Anna from a party.

And then it must be time for another fire.
