Days with the kids

Had a grand weekend. The weather was just fab. Cold, but still and sunny. On Saturday we went up onto the local moor and trekked about five miles with my two small kids, the missus and another couple with their two kids. We took our own food which we ate sitting on a rock in the early spring sunshine. At the top is an ancient stone circle, which I think can tell you when the spring equinox is by lining up with the sun rise. Anyway how nice to be up there and it reminded me how privileged we are. When we got home we made nachos and drank wine. A near perfect day.

On Sunday, we went to Fountains Abbey which was also good, but sadly the food is overpriced and poor quality. Why is it that something as basic as making a decent sandwich is beyond so many catering establishments? Surely they should be better than me as they get more practice? But no. So to compensate, I made Sunday diner when we got home to take away the nasty taste of cheap ham and stodgy bread.
