Myself and the family had a good 8 mile walk around York yesterday over the afternoon and early evening. We saw the grebes and their chicks on the University lake and Fiona was really enthralled by them . After the walk we had a kebab and a good conversation with the Kurdish owners of the business. They were originally from Turkey so we talked a lot about the incident in the Mediterranean. We then went to Rowntrees Park skate park where the lads skated for about an hour and were totally awesome. They both seemed a bit tired afterwards! As parents we have been tiring them out pretty much from when they could walk. It is a good parenting strategy. A good day.
