Myself and Hugh went to Center Parcs a few weekends back. It's a holiday village in a forest called Elveden near Cambridge, just a bit North of London. It's really brilliant fun. They have all sorts of sports and stuff to do. We did quad biking, archery and learned to scuba dive. We spent loads of time in the massive swimming pool with its many slides and rapids and lazy river etc. Hugh is a bit of a speed demon and would dive head first down all of them. I however am a chicken and would slide down as slowly as possible causing massive queues and generally being a bit embarrassing. One time there was a little girl in the queue for the biggest slide in front of Hugh. She changed her mind when she got to the front so Hugh went down in her place. At the end he was caught by the girl's very surprised Mom. Quality.
This is the view from our hotel room balcony. It's a bit different from the traffic and carnage visible from our flat in London. Below is a cute Elveden squirel, which are by far my favourite animal. At the bottom is Hugh lording over the snooker table.
