Forest Holiday

The summer holidays are nearly over. Thank heavens!!! Goodness, I never knew six weeks could feel like so long! It hasn't been all squabbling and whinging though. A few weeks ago we went to Center Parcs in Longleat Forest for a few days. It was lovely. Being surrounded by all those trees is wonderfully calming. We got to swim every day too! Smiley days in the forest.

Car parts on the road in the monkey enclosure

The incredibly satisfying feeling of schadenfreude on seeing an idiot driving a Jag and watching the monkeys rip it to pieces.
