Dig dig

We drove this morning to a mid point between us and my brother. We found a lovely place called Rutland Water that we'd neither of us seen before but it was perfect. There was sand, water, wildlife, park, rocks.... And baby nephews. All was well with the world. Cold but well. We dug holes for Graham the spider that lives in their kitchen. We searched in the water for Plimsoll, Ru's imaginary crab. We fished with sticks. We ran away from swans who were unimpressed to discover what they'd swum over to investigate was pebbles not food. We read stories and picnicked. We played in swings and tunnels and slides. Ru told Katie he loved her and her heart exploded.
