Chilling out in the garden

When I was a kid I used to roam for miles all over the country side around my house and before I was 12 I was often away all day canoeing down the river, exploring the woods or just riding for miles on my bike.  For some reason though my kids have generally stayed closer to Debbie and me, and spend a lot of time playing in the garden,  although that’s gradually changing as more kids from their school have stated to move closer to us. 

Which means that our garden often looks like this from Spring through to Autumn. 

They don’t just chill out all of the time though because we discovered just how much fun trampolines can be and now they spend a lot of time bouncing!  I must admit that I love the trampoline as well, and when I last went round to my brothers I was amused to see him bouncing around on his as we pulled into the drive!
