Today, we went on a family trip to the woods and rivers in the countryside....
My son...almost four...talked non stop...I mean actually non stop from when he got in the car to falling asleep...well crashing out tonight....30 seconds...in bed and 30 seconds later he was gone! I timed him!:zz:
The thing is...we got lost.
A walk along the river, lovely.
Across the little bridge...lovely.
Up the hillside to the lane....lovely...
And then...where...
Okay, lets follow the lane...
No...too far away..okay then, look there is a public footpath...arrows to show the way...great...over the stile...the path disppears. No worries...just keep going straight...
No stile.
No gate.
Just a bloody fence...barbed wire..:**:
Brooks, fields then ferns and holly and trees and leaves and more trees...
It was beautiful and for a few moments I managed to escape a little...
The dog chased a hare which I am sure was twice as big as she was...
Any wildlife would have vanished as we could be heard several miles away...
Thank god the kids had their wellies on!
Bear HuntStumble Trip
'We are on a bear hunt...' I cried in jubilation....my daughter...not even 8 yet just looked with disdain and took every opportunity to tell the surrounding countryside and whoever could hear that we were lost...and as usual her parents had no sense of direction!:no:
Well...we heard the river..yes..heard..that is how dense the forest was we were in!!!
Followed the sound and climbed over a fallen tree...found the path back to the car....
The dog has not woken up since 6pm tonight!
I am knackered too...but fell asleep at 5pm...woken up by disgruntled husband at 7pm...
I have more to tell...my life is so weird right now...I mean seriously surreal....
