Charlie's WorldEngland Summer 2013, Part 2
Posted on August 17, 2013
Children are like dogs.
They need walking every day to ensure they have burnt off excess energy and are ready for some quiet time.
They also make good pets, but lets not tell social services, Henry is just getting used to his cage…
Anyway, walking is something I dont do enough of, but here, the thousands of footpaths that criss cross the countryside pretty much demand to be explored.

b. I’ve been too lazy (see a)
c. I’ve been busy with other not so interesting stuff.

Anyways, with all this fine weather, we spent a lot of time in the woods walking, exploring, making dens and camps and having fun. Read More

We went out for Pizza for lunch – my mum and dad’s idea – lots of kids, vigorous exercise and then a treat – can’t much argue with that.
My dad sensibly peeled off from the park early to go back up to the town to book us a a table, but we were sufficiently early that we almost had the place to ourselves.
