outdoor office

delight - Ethan went on an acorn hunt

growth spurt - sun and rain has triggered a growth spurt in anything green

in the shade - a welcome break from the sun

in motion - cycling with one eye to the viewfinder was not the most sensible decision

stretch - sometimes you know they are going to fall, but then they surprise you

escape for the afternoon

on the trails - with the trip to nursery nailed, Ethan was keen to try more challenging terrain

monopoly deal - we played a couple of games each morning before I started work and it was interesting to see Oscar try to determine my strategy and the counter it with differing strategies of his own

walk in the park - jet lag means we were up early and needed to get out of the house

The new office

300 years old and starting to shed limbs

focus - broken, blunt, crumbling, if it makes a mark it's good
