Wake up Grumpy!

I have had a couple of nights out in the Antarctic wilderness avoiding snoring, sweaty socks and group farts.

"Believe it or Not!" This is what I look like at 03:00 after waking up outside on a rock ledge thinking that I have slept in and am getting sun burnt. The cure for this is far easier to just zip yourself into the bivvy bag and pretend it was just a dream unless you need to pee. "Where is the damn pee bottle anyway?"

    Just think where you could have taken De La Outdoor Ed - if only they'd been a bit more flexible with the budget!!!

    Great catching up on your activities - can't get blogs in China - they're blocked.
    We are gradually all arriving back in Singers for another year. Me Saturday... Felicity last night, kids are flying over on Wed night ...bringing their big sister to show her around the place.
    Keep up the good work.. enjoying the photos and info...Xinnian Hao...(Happy New Year)

  2. Yes I often consider that we were lucky at De La while it lastedbut I fear the program is now ancient history. Who knows what will happen if Outdoor Ed goes onto the National Curriculum.
    For the meantime I am really looking forward to seeing George and sharing the experience of bringing up a child together. Some may say that it will slow things down but I think the adventures are just about to start!
