What I did on my holiday Part 7

Day Five - Tuesday

Today was deliberately a quiet day, with lots of snoozes and walks. It was only enlivened by little bear's enthusiasm for wildlife.

At the bottom of the garden we left the detritus of little bear's attack on his breakfast toast. This morning he was investigating just how much had gone down when he shot back up the garden, making the Makaton sign for hamster. Dear heart saw the wee, sleekit small brown creature flee from little bear. 'It's a mouse,' dear heart said. But little bear patiently and insistently explained to dear heart that what he had seen was a HAMSTER thank you so much.

We had a casserole for tea. I was rather taken aback by the price of shin beef in the butchers, but padded out with lots of local vegetables and a large splodge of brown sauce it was extremely pleasant. I did two lots - one in the oven and one on the stove with the second stashed away for the next night.
