Little WildBerry got very excited when we told him we were going on a plane tomorrow. “Are we flying to Australia?” he asked. We gently explained that no, we were flying to Seville. This beautiful southern city was on our ‘must do’ list and we had decided flying would be the best way to get there, thus avoiding the 24 hour return drive that would otherwise be necessary to get there and back from northern Spain.

Next morning on the way to Santander airport Little WBB once again piped up: “Are we going to Australia today?” Then when we landed in Seville he said crossly, “It’s taking too long to get to Australia!” 

Both WildBerry boys have been having a ball on their holidays but there have been many occasions when they’ve missed their Nanny, their friends, their grandparents, their nursery, their Playgroups, Harriette, Home-made FishnChips, Kidzmania, Winston road, our lovely neighbours and their toys which are on the way to Australia in the ‘detainer’. These things have been missed on varying scales in precisely that order and in various other orders depending on the day or time of day. 

On another day, out of the blue, little WBB said one day while we were walking along a path: “Are we in Australia now, Mommy?” Sometimes the WildBerry mums wonder about what they’ve done and the impact it’s had on their little babies.
