Absolutely spot on Si. Good on ya mate, top dad. We don't get long before hanging out with dad isn't cool, so I'm same as you mate & grab every chance I can with them. Maybe I don't shoot as many pigeons as I could have that day, but spending it having laugh with my kids can't compare.
I was saying similar to someone other day, she moaning can't wait for kids back to school etc I was saying I've loved them being off so long. Difference is mine have been shooting, tree climbing, sheep shearing, fishing, tractor driving, pond dipping, butterfly counting, bird counting, feeding pheasant
