Games and quizzes

 The dogs were once again restless and as I got up around 6.30 blearyeyed to settle them I noticed a huge poo in the middle of the floor. Not again! I grabbed the mop and moved closer. As my eyes focused I could see it was a rope dog toy. Thank goodness for that. I fed them and gave them a turn around the glade before grabbing coffee. Our plan for today was for those who wanted to have a full English/Full vegan at the cafe. Vicky, Alex, Ian and I had a walk down with the labs, who did take up loads of room. We all enjoyed the breakfast though.

A nice treat for us was that Chris’s friend Toby, and baby Cecily (AKA Trucksy) would be visiting this morning. She’s a very cute little girl, and very inquisitive. She also loves dogs which is good. We waited to see them for a little while before Ian and I headed to the nearby Tesco for some vittels. While there Ian spotted a Taylor Swift colouring book. Ideal for Vicky as an extra present as she is a well known Swiftie.

Back at the ranch we geared up for our next activity, a forest treasure hunt. I was’nt holding out much hope as I thought it would be mainly for children, but in the end we thoroughly enjoyed it. It gave the lads a good long walk as we hunted through the woods, and we finished 6th overall. Overall what I’m not sure.

We had timed the hunt to coincide with a quiz at the cafe, but sadly there were not enough people to run it. Happily we drowned our sorrows with a beer.

Chris had decided that all these little dens he had seen in the woods recently had been built to a poor specification so he went off to build a more substantial one himself


A good hut


Back at the cabin there was more hot tubbing before tea, then we did a chocolate fondue on the gas Barbie

We then cleared the table to play a very simple (to the youngsters) or very complicated (to me and Ian) board game in which we all were winners.




Everyone’s a winner babe

We felt a little cheated about the none quiz, so we did one of our own, before tiredness overwhelmed us and it was time for bed.

 My tiny little baby is 30!  Because of this momentous occasion she had paid for all seven of us, and all four dogs, to have a holiday in a treehouse near Winchester. For months before the excitement was building. We even had our own ‘30th Birthday’ WhatsApp group. Although some of the group husbandry wasn’t as I would like it to be.  Eventually, just a few days after Leem was surprisedly sacked and Big Fat Steve returned triumphantly to the New York Stadium, we were packing up three cars and departing for The South. It was a bit of a squeeze I must say, to the point that when Kathy asked ‘can we fit the cans of coke in?’ , the answer was ‘No!’. At just after 10.15, (departure time 10am, not bad) we were off . We had planned to stop at Charlecote house, somewhere we had never been before. As it was Kathy’s 33rd birthday she didn’t want to drive, so I had to drive her rubbish, non automatic car. Turns out I hardly needed to change gear at all. The journey was lovely with v...
