Ella's inspection of Woodbury Common...

...where Papa, some years ago, ran the then fastest-ever time on the endurance course! Mama and Ella were deeply impressed, while Papa was obviously of the opinon that better times had come!

Why get onto hands and knees and crawl through a muddy tunnel...


...when with Ella one can stand above things?


What's the point in getting your feet wet...

...or for that matter, your hair wet going through the sheep dip (although Mama was keen to give it a go)!

Leaving for the last time? One never knows - perhaps Ella will return and better Papa's time?

Its always nice to take a trip down memory lane but good to be able to look to a bright future with Ella now!
