...or not, as the case my be.

Today we dragged the kids the full 5 miles around Draycote Water; hoodwinking them with their scooters, which were great fun downhill on the steep sections.

Highlight of the trip was the biccy break halfway around; though being told their second biccy was being retained until the end of the journey didn't go down too well.

Rio Grandborough II

It seems like a while since the village ford flooded;



but at last we were able to don our wellies and wade

whilst those better equipped wondered what all the fuss was about.
