We popped over to visit some friends in Wiltshire for the day (they used to live in London - Geoff and I have known them for many years, before any of us had kids), and headed out to Chedworth Roman Villa for a picnic and some conversation - and a little looking at Roman ruins. Here, some Roman soldiers prepare to do battle...
While the fair Roman maidens employ themselves a little more serenely...
..though not always.
Someone at one point built a Victorian hunting lodge in the middle of the grounds!
The older children - and adults - spent a lot of time simply sitting and talking. Our friends' two oldest boys are around Sarah's age - one has just finished A levels, the other, GCSEs, so they and Sarah had a lot to talk about.
Alex had fun with the two younger boys... [our friends have 5 kids - the middle, and only girl, is almost exactly the same age as Olivia - just a few weeks off]
...and a grasshopper.
