Ive parked up until they catch up again

They get a 5 mile bike trip and I get some more rest.

Oldest has gone to the pics with his friends.

Youngest wants to play with the hobos.

Everything is still drenched from yesterdays rain.

Ive found this chunk of concrete on some tarmac in the middle of some wasteground that is partially flooded.

Better to be safe than sorry - and also to get him to think about safety.

We also have some water just in case we manage to set fire to anything.

Not sure you can get much safer than this.

We found some almost standing twigs.

Someone had flytipped them, so we helped ourselves.

They were a bit damp, but we had cotton wool, newspapers, cardboard and tea stirrers too.

Got my stove laid.

Cleared the area of anything that we didnt need - just in case it all managed to catch fire.

He managed to light his fastest. Made his day.

Those twigs were wetter than I thought.

This one is foaming.

Apparently, it works better if you look at it upside down.

You can make them cook faster if you concentrate really hard too.

...and poke them with a stick

He just fed it another sheet of newspaper.

No Idea why.

After all that patient waiting

Time to add chocolate!

It tastes funny if you dont wipe the lip of the cup first.

Theres nothing like watching the sun go down over a hobo cooked hot chocolate.

I love it.
