At the weekend our friend Clemens packed up his car with snacks and DVDs, his daughter Katherina and all she would need for a exchange holiday with our friends the Walkers from Bradfield, and we squeezed Caspar, Mary and Elizabeth into the back seat to hitch a ride to England for a 4 week holiday with friends and family, with instructions to behave. It didn't occur to us that it may raise a few eyebrows, his car full of children, three of whom he has no official relationship to, and his return ticket showing that he would be traveling home alone. Once he had persuaded the police that he wasn't intending to sell the children then the journey proceeded without a hitch.
