Toasted marshmallows

My plan for today was to pop and do the weekly shop, take some soup, buy some marshmallows and come home via a local wood, where I'd make a den with the boys.  In our den, we would have soup and toasted marshmallows.  This was a great idea, until the boys weren't really up for it and the eldest wanted to play in the back garden.  He was totally up for the toasted marshmallows, but not in a wood, at home thank you very much.  The  youngest wasn't really interested at all, he wanted tractor ted.  So the eldest and I sat on the garden step and enjoyed our little treat - although he kept on telling me 'it's taking a long go', which is his expression whenever anything isn't happening fast enough. 

The husband has worked so hard all weekend to sort our downstairs toilet, despite one incident with water pouring out of a pipe this afternoon, it is, touch wood, all fitted.  Well done him, it's the vanity work now.
