Race

We went with Cora and Pascal to a fete in a nearby village, expecting there to be the usual bouncy castles and suchlike for kids, but instead they'd arranged games and races. Jamie and Danny took part in this race to fill a wine bottle with water. Poor Danny was already knackered at the end of a long day, and it was very funny watching him run back and forth to fill a plastic cup from a bucket then bring it back to fill the wine bottle. He started out full of enthusiasm, but got slower and slower until on the tenth trip he was walking along at a slow stroll.

We had to keep shouting at him to look where he was going as he kept looking at us with a huge grin on his face and nearly bumping into other kids running in the other direction.

The amount of water that actually reached the wine bottle was highly amusing too!
