Couple of Pics


Recommended Posts

Christmas holidays: a time during which all single parents are at risk of being driven to suicide :crazy:

 

With the dogs desperate for a good blast, and the kids going stir crazy, and me being doolally at the best of times, I decided the family needed a good airing out today. Packed up a lunch and set off just before 11 this morning. We walked for 4 hours :fool:

 

The camera battery packed in halfway through but I did manage to get a couple of slightly blurry pics in the low shitty light.

 

Aaaand they're off! :laugh:

Four hours, that's a lot of walking on little legs.

 

It's a lot of walking on grown up legs! :laugh:

 

There's an art to it, which I've developed over the years. You bring lots of snacks/ sandwiches/drinks/chocolates etc. And you just meander, take your time and make it interesting. I've scoped out all the different directions we go, so I know where's good to stop for a rest. Woods are best - good for adventures and bear hunting :laugh: Sometimes if I find a new 'spot' and tell them about it, then they're game to go see it. I let them climb trees and fences and crawl around under the bushes etc., it keeps them occupied. And it sure beats the tv all day. Makes for a shed load of washing, mind.

 

Bert ... anyone else would've come home with tired quiet children. Anyone else would've sat serenely by the fire with a cuppa whilst said tired quiet children recuperated. Mine were bouncing around all over the place and are only now settling down. This motherhood lark is vastly overrated.

 

Will check the email shortly :wink:
