Two Boys; One Dog.


What makes Grumpy not so Grumpy? Having two of my favourite people mucking about in the fields with my favourite dog; that's what!

Monty (now more commonly known as Lumpy) had just found the plastic pot from my newly acquired Clematis Montana, and is playing 'take it from me, if you can' with the boys, who are so obviously glad to be away from north London for a while.

I love to see the boys running free in the countryside. This year even more so because they've got Monty to play with. The photo says it all.

This is why I moved to France with my own children, all those 40 wonderful years ago!

    Hello:
    Yes, this image captures one of those moments so precious to both adults looking on and to children participating.

    Tony. I think that's what childhood is all about. Good memories, adequate food, and parents (and grandparents) who love you!
