A Long Time, A Long Way to Go

We are on holiday now. After a long drive last night, "are we there yet", we arrived in at Grandma's house in sunny Wales by the sea. I had a long lie in this morning and my wife took the children to the beach. I was woken by Mum at about midday with shouts of "Simon, Simon, wake up now. Your wife and children need to be picked up from the beach."

You can imagine how confusing this was. Me dreaming away, my Mum shouting get up now. At first I thought I was 16 again and everything was normal until the wife and children bit came in. It totally threw me. In fact it put my whole day out of kilter, I really wanted to sleep more and not be woken up at all!

Eli remembered the whole day, ice cream, beach, hide and seek and playing with the old toy farm that hasn't seen the light of day for 20 years.
