Just a quick message tonight as I have not much time. We went out to the Pizza Hut and then watched a film on tv.

Well done Anona getting your placement!

Hope you are all enjoying the heat wave and I expect Netherlands is hot as well.

I saw the pictures of the children and Anona at the  paddling pool in Oxford and the picture of Alice. They have grown! All look so beautiful and much loved by Grandma and Grandad. Need a photo of lily and Louis next.

We toured the national park today and saw wildlife! Quite a few different birds and wild sheep and wild goats. The goats come down from the high mountains in Spring to lick certain rocks for the minerals they need. We saw about 20 goats, adults and kids. They are tall with very long coats. Some were moulting and looked a bit scraggy.

no bears or moose but they were in the area we were in. A few people told us they had seen them and asked if we had too.

I will send photos tomorrow and some of the wild flowers we saw.

it will make a change from scenery shots although we got lots more today as you might guess!

lots of love xxxx
