Driving home

After a lazy morning and a meeting at the farmers union (I sat outside with the boy sleeping on my shoulder), we hit the road for the long drive home.  The boy, once again was a delight, considering he had so long on my knee. 

Dirk managed to pick up another traffic violation - it's getting near Christmas and so the police are collecting their Christmas bonus anyway they can. Today it was for allegedly not stopping fully at a stop sign, despite the road being visibly clear to move on.  I guess everyone has to make money.... 

This was taken at an impromptu stop, I refused to get out of the car as I didn't trust what was on the ground and we had to stop a little late and a service station that was actually ok, I wouldn't have believed they existed before we went there.  

So we're back safe and sound, tired, but happy after a few days away feeling as if we've been quite civilised.
