Term has started and Abbotsbury Barn is now open until October, so Jacob, Rebecca and I took a picnic and went off to enjoy the sunshine. It didn't pass without rather a lot of heated discussion before school about the fact that we did do things like that on week days with Oliver and Bethany when they were little. I even suggested that Jacob and Rebecca may get a little bored if all they did all summer was the school run and nothing else, but for one of the older ones this morning that seemed like a much better option than going while they were at school!
We went anyway.
Jacobs low point was when we were standing in the aviary and a cockatoo landed on his head! He has quite enjoyed telling everyone about his very scary experience though!
Jacob had that in mind all along!
