The extended metaphor of a military operation really did make this feel like an adventure. 😂
As you said, the way you frame experiences can completely change them where even the simplest things can mean a lot. It's almost like you gamified the journey, the process, and there's a happy ending from the trip!
Lots of good points here. I think the problem in Fort Neaf is that the tip behind Tesco is not as user friendly as it used to be. Successive Tory governments have gone to war against local authorities leading to the public squalor and private affluence that is so depressing today.
Local Authorities are really struggling, no money for basic public services, yet upping council tax doesn't seem to be an option or they lose the public vote.
This is the best kind of parenting. Make it game and he'll want to play it every time! This sounds so fun.
What a great memory for your son. Seriously.
Thanks Leo
Our human brain definitely loves a quest as serious yet mundane as this 😂 very fun read Mark!
We do love a quest!
Such a fun tip trip and a fun read.
Clearly you had just as much fun telling the story as you did living it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience!
Haha I did thank you Hafsa

Thanks Malick, it's what works for me, it clearly works for my son too.
We also pretend to be spies when we go shopping, any security guards must be laughing their socks off if they are watching us 🤣
That's brilliant, you probably make their day. 😂😂
