5am and Elliot us in the school hall with his team mates, all of which look extremely subdued.

Today is a looong day with over 6hours layover in Munich as they make their way to Cape Town for a 10 day long tour of South Africa with the school Rugby (and Netball) Team

It seems to have come round awfully quickly but they seem largely ready for 10 incredible days of exploration and fun. There might be some rugby mixed in it too 🙂

We look forward to hearing all about it upon their return as we are not expecting much while they are away.

Have a great time kids and we look forward to hearing and seeing it all when you return.

Happy Birthday Vicky 🥂🎂

We all hope you have a tremendous day, enjoy every moment and feel generally spoiled throughout.

Sharing the day with Mother’s Day is unideal in many respects but then given you are the best, it is kind of fitting 🙂

With all our love today and everyday, Simon, Elliot, Oliver, Hugo and t’other one Xxx

Whernside Walk

Elliot and dad went to the dales (Ribblehead) with some of dad’s work friends first thing this morning and set out on a walk up (and down) the Whernside mountain (one of the Yorkshire. 3 peaks).

It was 8 miles of pretty tough terrain in the cold and wet (misty rather than full on raining).

We completed it in just under 3.5 hours and then enjoyed 3 hours in the pub for a terrific pub lunch and a few cheeky beers.

Don’t think Elliot will join us for more of them and certainly not for the full 3 peaks but we are both delighted to have accomplished this one for now 🙂
