spring has sprung - at least in the sunny south west

so we frolicked with the cousins.

we walked the dogs and i put a big cousin in a tree and had to get her down again. we went to dartington to the cinema en masse, giving the ice cream lady a mathematical nightmare as she tried to work out how much to charge us. we did hopping races in the courtyard and tried to get the kids to obey the signs asking them not to run down the sloped lawns. i could understand their temptation.
