Drum And Bass

Matthew stopped by and told us they'd hired out one of their fields for an all night rave and we might hear it. We did. It wasn't intrusive; it didn't keep me awake- but at the times when I was awake- and I wake up regularly through the night- I could hear it ticking away in the distance- drum and bass- da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da. Round about midnight there were fireworks.

The Rise And Fall Of Empire

While Ivy was learning how to kill people with a sword I was building "sandcastles" with Clover. They weren't really sandcastles- but little mounds of gravel with a bit of twig stuck in the top. After a while we ran out of space and twigs in the place where we were sitting and had to move further afield. The number of castles grew. How many did we have in the end- fifteen? twenty?

Eventually Ailz came to collect us for a stroll down to the lower field and said, "I'm William the Conqueror" and deliberately flattened our two most recent castles under the wheels of her mobility scooter.
