Since Elizabeth was grounded this week having gone awol on the afternoon of her accordion lesson, it was important for Justine and Simon to be at home when she came back from school to enforce her imprisonment. On Wednesday, after an early start, they managed a 10k walk, a bike ride, 3 geocaches and a swim, and were home when school finished at 11.15. House arrest was the perfect punishment for Elizabeth,who would move permanently into her friends' houses given the option. Having had a lovely day of cooking and board games, Mary is looking forward to Elizabeth misbehaving again.
