The texture here was what caught my eye. Well, that and the camouflaged couple.

It was an easy drive down and allowed for lunch and a walk before moving on to the accommodation.

We now await the others. One pair has landed with grandparents for a sleepover, and the others should be en route . I hope the new additions to our family feel an attachment to this place as much as we do.

At home, we have left the painter to the kitchen/dining room. Let's hope the colour is right because by the time we see it, it will be too late to change.
