Managed to pick a decent April day for a long awaited Hawkes family get together. Mr H had planned a sort of treasure hunt walk – basically a walk with 20 clues to look for en route, quite a good way to keep the nearly 12 year old great-niece (eek!) Izzy engaged with the 6 olds – me & H, H's brother Tim & wife Mel and Izzy's parents (Tim's son and soon to be official daughter-in-law if their wedding AT LAST goes ahead, 4th time asking due to covid delays, this September).<\/p>\n

But back to the walk – actually quite a good idea (despite me having been not at all keen on what I thought was going to be 'find an oak leaf', 'ask for a straw in the local pub' type of hunt). Instead, teaching on house beams, bench arms, inside abandoned phone boxes, on a windmill etc etc for written clues, that you then put onto a grid – or rather, encourage Izzy to do, as the youngest Hawkes.<\/p>\n

Punctuated by a nice pub drink at the start, some pigs and a windmill in the middle and a picnic at the end. Tim & Mel on their sausage-roll-looky-likey vegan fare and the rest of us swapping nibbles.<\/p>\n

Really good to see everyone properly face to face, especially the Gloucestershire three who were meant to come for Boxing Day last year, before Xmas was then cancelled.<\/p>\n

And now only a few months till wedding date number 4 – surely, this time lucky and Kerry-Anne will finally become another Mrs Hawkes. (Lucky her!!)<\/p>\n
