Following the picnic in the garden, the bees tidied away the leftover food while the children played tennis and argued about who would be Andy Murray ('You be Andy Murray!' 'No, YOU be Andy Murray!'). Wilson sang his Birthday Blues several more times, interspersed with a selection of Leonard Cohen and The Smiths songs.
After a couple of hours he consulted the Mk2 WASTE clock and told everyone that it was time to get into the car for another surprise. When everyone was safely in he directed me to the Mystery Destination.
The distance was not great, but it took several hours to get there due to the difficulty of cornering with a goldfish in a bowl balanced on the back seat; the children's constant chorus of 'Are We There Yet?' made it seem even further.
But eventually — much to Diesel's relief — we turned into a car park and W announced that we had arrived!
