If you go down to the woods today ...

... please make sure you know where you are & which direction you are heading in! My 2 lovely but clearly dumb stepchildren decided to walk less than 1/2 a mile (about 20 minutes) to come & see me. The most obvious route is a straight line down a main road. You cannot get lost. Really you can't. But they did - they decided to go on an adventure and head off the straight simple main road into the woods. Smart you may think, get off the congested & polluted 'A' road & get some fresh air. No. Not smart with these 2. They thought they could walk across a privately owned stud farm to cut off a corner & naturally as they reached the fence of the farm they came across the farm dog. Who was very loud in his greeting!!
Cue phone call to me but as I have no idea where they are - and they cannot describe in any accurate way where they may be I cannot help them.
Then their father (FauxSurreyHubby) called. He got through to them & managed to talk them out. Where did they pop out? Exactly where they had gone in. Still 20 mins away. The scary thing is one of them has a Silver Duke of Edinburgh award!! Good grief!
