Will you walk with Me through the fire and the rain?
Will you trust in Me through the joy and through the pain?
Will you love Me always when the world hates My name?
Will you take My Hand and lean on Me again?

Running away.

Having a child-free weekend with a friend. I think we're going to like it here.

Chatsworth

We have upgraded our holiday accommodation slightly!

OK maybe not, but we did manage (after a bit of persuasion and a promise that Mog's chair was not in fact a powered chair) to get the full tour with our own personal tour guide and Princess-transferred-to-an-adult-manual-chair pusher.

All good, apart from our half hour stand-off at the sculptures.

And home, and a sillily giggly tickle-the-pickle toddler, and a very twitchy Mog. But a mostly pretty good day. And tLP even finally registered that whilst going home would mean seeing the cats again (her aim all week), it would also mean not seeing our friends any more. I think that's progress.

Two beautiful evenings

Which would you choose?

Ilam.

Photos by C, as I handily forgot my phone. Friends, fine weather, teeny tiny roads with scary great precipitous drops far too close for comfort. Spectacular scenery, twin lambs everywhere and a calf carefully hidden in a byre. Wheelchair backsies for the toddler, giggles and hand holding for the two older children; long days for two mums but good times all round.

We're going on a big hunt

Going to catch a big one.
We're not scared.
Well, only a little bit!
