He's back!

Agu got me up early to plan various surprises for Ben's return. This mainly revolved around construction of a tent, (chairs, blankets, rope etc.) and then a detailed story, map and description of the monster-monkey Ben would find guarding the treasure. Agu timed it to perfection, almost as if he had heard the sound of Anna turning off the by-pass into Formby, he was installed and giggling before the heat (!) of the sun penetrated the tent roof too much. Ben has grown in the last three weeks needless to say. He duly followed the instructions and was greeted by a scary 'naughty mouse in the mountains' voice from beneath the yurt. And then big hugs. Fabulous.

So now the wild boys are back together, there is no rest and thank God for the garden.

Roast beef for the hoodlums and thanks to AKHF for bringing the apple of my eye back. He has returned with a penchant for tarte tatin, which apparently makes Paris the best.
