Blackberry picking

Blackberry picking with G, then straight on to the village café for hot chocolate — yes, hot chocolate, in this heat! She’s really starting to push herself out of her comfort zone, so there was no way we were going to discourage her.

I could ramble on about G driving me across the field, or perching on the bonnet as we rolled through the gates, or somehow managing to pick up three eggs in one hand — country kids really are a different breed.

I’m utterly done in… but of course I still had to head over for tea with AE, followed by an evening of wine. Honestly, life was far less exhausting when I was at work.
