Kids!

How many kids were there - 6 or so? I can't remember! The kids ran around outside a lot, in the terraced yard and through the house, eating strawberries and bread and cheese and pixie sticks and tiny cupcakes. There was playdough and a box of books. The kid in the spiderman suit sat in my lap a lot; I let him dig around in my backpack; he found my gorillapod and made it into a space octopus, with wings.
