A moment of reflection

We're off on holiday tomorrow. My husband and I have been packing the car and raiding the loft for camping equipment. The children have been having a lovely time with their grandparents (they went to three parks!). When we went to pick them up, my daughter was rather emotional due to a combination of being excited, tired and hungry. This inevitably led to arguments and tears. While we had a cuddle to calm down, I was admiring the beautiful grain on the arm of the bench we were sat on. It's quite old and has turned a lovely silver colour.
