A watchful eye

#3 daughter and family arrived back safely with the camper van after having a great time in Edinburgh. Daughter's first real boyfriend from aged 16-19 was on holiday in Northumberland so arranged to visit with his family. I'd not see him for 20 years, though daughter and he meet sometimes in London where he lives and has his architects practice. It was hard to catch up with four children around but we had a good time playing in the woods. Mr C had to keep an eye on the tree-climbing as Ella might has been pushy with Nathaniel - they are both a bit over-tired with the holiday. Sam, also in the picture is 7 and his sister, who didn't not climb, is 9. Despite the age difference they enjoyed playing and having the freedom of the wood behind the house, which you can see below.

They have all gone, the sun us out, and Mr C has made us a G&T.
