Sunday is round-up time. John as taken some wonderful photos of the children. They were on holiday in Perthshire and spent the time puddle-jumping, playing hide and seek and scaling the heights of anything with appreciable elevation.
This shot just reminds me of how different this child's games were to the ones I played, i.e. hide and seek was in an orchard or sheds with equipment or tea-boxes for furniture-moving jobs.
Imagine how wonderful it must be to be able to climb castle walls! This is Alastair making his first ascent of Direlton Castle walls! I just love this photo! I hope someone makes a slide-show (or the modern equivalent) when he is 21 and shows this one!
Alastair and I made pancakes which is a good dull Sunday activity. He loves being in the kitchen helping. Is there maple syrup to hand? No... he heads straight for the cupboard for the sploochy chocolate sauce. And why not?!
The kids are old enough to go a bike (that's a Glasgow expression) with stabilizers so they can make the journey from their house to ours in one go. And the whole gang arrive smelling of fresh air... such a pleasant change in this house of dust and tracked-in dirt.
