Stand and Deliver

It was a wet, miserable, grey day. It was how the Gorse Fox imagines life to be if you are north of Watford.

The Silver Vixen headed off to Pilates, but the Gorse Fox skipped football as we had various deliveries expected during the day. During the morning he went digging through the loft and then the garage looking for some collections of old toys. They took quite a bit of locating and in the end the Gorse Fox had to make a hook to reach across the roof space to grab the bag containing the huge collection of Fisher-Price toys. The next hour or so was spent cleaning all these. It's amazing the filth that washed off this long-stored collection. Just as the Gorse Fox was finishing, Urban-Cub arrived with Ellie and the Silver Vixen followed a few minutes later.

We prepared some lunch for Ellie and then the Silver Vixen, Urban-Cub, Cousteau-Cub, and Ellie headed off to Chichester for some shopping. The Gorse Fox was still tied to the house awaiting the deliveries. Fortunately both deliveries arrived before two o'clock, so the Gorse Fox put on his gear and headed off to join the family in Chichester. As the Silver Vixen had he car in Chichester, the Gorse Fox used his bus pass and then strolled through the town to join up with them. We strolled around from shop to shop as Cousteau-Cub raided the charity shops and Urban-Cub and the Silver Vixen looked in the kiddy-shops. Eventually we split up and the Gorse Fox raided M&S.

As the afternoon wore on, Urban-Cub, Cousteau-Cub, and Ellie went home and the Silver Vixen and the Gorse Fox stayed on for a bit more shopping.
