It soon became clear that Robert had his 'walking breeches' on. Having been working so hard over the last couple of weeks, he saw this outing as a literal way of 'getting away from it all'. First we cleared the perimeter of the estate, across the road, over a stream up a wadi-like feature, across another road and then began the serious clambering over huge boulders. I had to take this stage at my own pace, Robert waited up ahead on 'his' boulder (it was surprisingly comfy!) From there we surveyed the view and only then was he able to get things off his chest. I like our chats. Both my children are way ahead of me in the intelligent stakes, but I do try to listen when needed and offer sound advice.
