Quite amazing how the older I become, the faster time seems to be flying by …. a fact confirmed by all of my same-age-but-in-denial friends. So another Sunday materialised with some free time …. and instead of being in pursuit of blackberries this week, Ben, Holly and I took ourselves off to Delamere Forest in Cheshire and spent a very lovely sunny autumn morning walking and collecting fallen chestnuts. We were accompanied by our neighbours, Tom, Georgia, and their two children Joe and Jessica, and an additional four legged friend (Tinka – the skateboarding dog as seen on our website). Flushed with success and heaving pockets, hats etc. (we had not planned to collect chestnuts!!) we returned home and joined forces to polish off a rather nice Rioja and eat roasted chestnuts …. delicious – and mostly free entertainment again! I was reminded of the big wide world later that afternoon when my youngest son called me from Madeira to tell me he was setting sail (yacht racing) for Cape Verde – and it was so warm he was sitting on deck with no shirt on, looking forward to the start of his race. It felt strange when we compared how we were spending our Sunday …….
