Walking again

Val and I set off at 9.30 for a walk. We headed up past West Farm and over to Physic Lane, down to Thropton and home by the river. Over 6 miles.

Then I cooked for #3 daughter and children arriving after school. They were desperate to get ou5 to the woods. Somebody had chopped off the branch that they had used to swing down from once they’d climbed as far as they could. They were not impressed.

It’s great it is light till 7 but it was hard to get them to come in. Consequently bed was late, and our dinner even later. Nathaniel read to me at his bedtime. He suddenly noticed his book was Stage 3, which gave him great pleasure.

Ella wants to make pancakes for breakfast and then go to Cragside to the trim trail

Thank you for all the good wishes on my 5th anniversary of Blipping.
