Don't be fancy just get dancy

Boy has been updating me on their climb

The altitude sickness. The pooing in the fresh air with no porta loos 

The porters who climbed with them - carrying the food, the tents and their bags 

The medicine they took to combat the sickness 

This wasn't a walk up Ben Lomond. It was a hard slog and I'm glad I didn't know until they were down.   Like the time he did 'community service with the scouts.  .... Erecting fencing on cliff paths to stop the cows falling over .... Excuse me?

And a moment of utter joy.  The cook who climbed up and down with them .... Baked Boy a cake with icing, his name and a firework on top 

Can you imagine?  16,000 looking after five travellers and they took time out to bake him a birthday cake and sing a song 

My heart is full of joy.  For the love given to my boy by strangers
