Then off to Pat's with Sister X and Chris and I swear it was a conspiracy! To set the scene, K loves to walk, I hate walking. I hate the cold...... Here we are with K and THREE of his sisters.... What shall we do? A nice walk along the front at West Kirby? You are kidding right? It's cold! Looks like it might rain... Forecast says rain...? Ermmmm......kidding, yeh? Yeh?
No, apparently not....
Sure, lovely walk, I can no longer hear in my left ear and I have restored British coloring.... Red and wind burnt.... And I quote "bracing" was more than a slight understatement ........
........ I don't care what anybody says or who's feelings I hurt, I would have drawn the line at crossing the sands to Hilbre Island! I'm too young to drown....Viewable in the distance to my left....
For the record, the wind surfer was
On the plus side, it was fascinating hearing Chris reminisce about her "big brother". Only a year apart, they toddled to primary school together and Chris recalled one wintry snowy day when she kept falling over and K "put on his pumps, hoisted her on his back and carried her through the snow...". K felt this wasn't such a challenge because "as a 6 year old" he "often carried half a hundred weight of hen food across the yard! Not just one bag at a time, but TWO!"
.... Yes dear.....
Then there was the time he saved Chris from a pack of wild dogs at the beach... She dropped her pumps in fright and not only did K fight off the rabid pack single handed, but he actually went back and got her pumps!!!
Big brothers eh?
Ah, the return of English colouring, you are sure that's the bracing wind not the availability of French wine?
