Yes,they really are in the river ...

Excellent parenting part #568.. Allow offspring to get WEILS disease ....
Look,they wanted to play in the river .. Who are we to stop them ... Children in Africa have to DRINK dirtier water than this.. They had two hours of absolute delight .. Came home,showered and sat and discussed the roaring current of the water ...
Pepé fell in again ... This time he did get carried a few feet away but Lucy who was reasonably dry at the time actually waded up to her buttocks to grab him out ... He loves a swim does Pepé ...
In this blip Alice is emptying her wellies .. Charlie is lying in the river and Lucy is doing the dance to Saturday night fever .. All perfectly normal .

Eve has gone off on a week long school ski trip to Austria,I'm missing her already .. She only left at 2.30 today ...
