Barefoot Walk

We had Ella and Nathaniel to stay last night. They slep till 6.45 which was great, and played well together. We spent hours at Cragside - they have grown so much since our last visit that they can now do all the climbing and adventure stuff in the playground themselves.

For something new we introduced them to the barefoot walk. First they walk on people's, then logs, then large rocks, the long branches and finally the mud. After the mud there is a hose on a tap to get cleaned up. They did it several times. After a picnic we took them home, as we are going to a friend's to eat tonight.

I'm still not really better from the bug and now Mr C, who has said for days it was 'threatening' now is coughing. We have a long drive on Wednesday so I hope by then we are fully fit.
