Ahem
We’re back. Though I note I didn’t actually mention we were going away.
Centerparc; we gatecrashed my sister’s holiday with friends – though I think they didn’t mind as it gave my niece Mia somebody of her own age to play with. I was confident that Maggie would enjoy herself but didn’t expect us to enjoy it as much as we did. Zipping* about on a bike; swimming for hours every morning; Maggie rode on a pony called Nibbles and the girls did plenty of soft play. The daddies played squash and on Thursday afternoon the mummies came over all yummy and swanned off to the spa. Bliss. Restaurants were much better than anticipated but the site recycling facilites are virtually non-existant, which is my only possible complaint (I was nearly but not quite moved to bring home our milk cartons. Had the car not been completely full to bursting I might have.)
*One doesn’t exactly zip when towing a trailer-load of children. But it is very good for one’s thigh muscles.

For some reason I misread your footnote as ‘towing a trailer-load of chickens’. I wondered for a moment if you’d visited Center Parcs Bombay.
