Give me the clear blue sky...

"Give me the clear blue sky above my head, 
and the green turf beneath my feet, 
a winding road before me, 
and a three hours' march to dinner..."
- Henry Hazlitt -



Friday. Our last full day in holiday mode. The sun poured down and plans were afoot to visit a little village not too far away for a bite to eat, some duck feeding and a country jaunt. When there's a clear blue sky, there is nothing like a country walk


So off we set on our little adventure, accompanied by Auntie, Uncle and little cousin!


After a yummy lunch at our favourite little restaurant, we ambled down country lanes, crossed plenty of kissing gates, spotted sheep and horses, clambered up woody hills and out at the bottom to a pretty little church with plenty of history to take in.


Some of us were glad for an opportunity to sit down after all that walking!


Of course, there was no shortage of cheekiness...


...and shattered little girls on the way home! Both of them conked out within minutes of leaving, cuddled up with Coco Affe and Simba the lion.


Just one of those perfect, sunshiny days that memories are made of...

  2. A sleeping child in the back of the car is usually a sign of a very good day out I always think :-)
