And linking them together for a walk with a mission (and snacks!) is a fab idea. I used to visit my sister when she lived in Chelsea, and a couple of times went into the centre of London on foot, much to her bemusement - but I don't think I found much countryside on my routes!smilymelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005558661668513565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312079187782906136.post-85201081849191859902013-12-15T12:48:33.010-08:002013-12-15T12:48:33.010-08:00which one was the winner?which one was the winner?smilymelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005558661668513565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312079187782906136.post-69453830513968038652013-11-19T13:18:02.215-08:002013-11-19T13:18:02.215-08:00Did you use a waterproof glue?

How lovely to read of your children enjoying themselves. <br /><br />Having just declared to TV licensing that we don't require a license, and almost simultaneously being part of my little girls' 'treasure hunt', which they created all by themselves (mine was just a bit part), I heartily agree.
