Our French Bike Ride

One of my most favourite memories of Benji has to be our bike ride at Center Parcs. We all hired bikes and set off through the woods. Benji got too close to the edge of the path at one point and fell off his bike into the ditch. Bless him, he did cry. We carried on riding for ages, I think we actually left the parc and ended up on some french farm in the middle of nowhere! We went a long way, it was starting to rain so we started the trek back 'home'. We came to a crossroads, unsure which way to go we all stopped to try and work it out. Sid and Dav said straight on, Benji thought we went left. He wouldn't listen, he wouldn't move! Convinced he was right and we were wrong, he refused to budge. He became upset and really cross, insisting he was right. The more his mum and dad tried to explain why he was wrong the more he refused to move!! Rhianna, Holly and Max had started to cycle along the path back so I followed them. You could hear Benji insisting we were all going the wrong way. Sharon had to physically pull his bike, with him on it, wailing his head off along the path. After a while, you could see the chalets through the fence and it dawned on him that we were going the right way. Benji, with a massive grin said "see, I told you it was this way!!" I will never forget that day.
