It's lovely having Ruth and her girls here to stay. Took above snapshot of Freja and Tuva at breakfast.
After breakfast Ruth decided to take the girls for a long walk, passing the above ploughed field on the way.
They then went on to some beech woods about half a mile (as the crow flies) from home, where they discovered a rope swing. If you enlarge the above photo you'll discover Tuva, on the right, about to go into orbit.
They all had a good swing, even Ruth, who, in her late forties (sorry to be ungallant, daughter) might be considered a bit long in the tooth for such excesses! Still, she's very fit and lissome. Good job Grannie stayed at home to cook lunch, otherwise I know she'd have been tempted to have a swing. (so might I, if I'd gone with them, come to think of it).
Above photo shows Freja resting from the excercise on a log. She'll be thirteen in a few weeks.
When they all got home Grannie had made a hearty meal of bangers and mash, celleriac, potatoes and mushrooms. It was followed by the above pictured apfel strudel that Ann had also made (with custard of course). They all (needless to say) did full justice to a late lunch.
P.s. Reopen this to say that I gave Ruth my camera before they set out and asked her to take lots of pictures, so that ALL the above were taken by Ruth.

It looks like the girls would love "Go-Ape" in Thetford Forest at High Lodge Centre.
I'd have had a swing too, and I'm way longer in the tooth than Ruth (sorry about the inadvertent rhyme).
Thank you Rog. We might have a run over there, if we don't run out of time. Even then, perhaps next trip.
Hello Z. Yes, we've always enjoyed swings. Somehow single rope swings in sloping woodland are far more unpredictable that municipal ones in parks.
