Such a pity, it would have been good to have some craft sand with a story. But I can tell you I'm not going out there to gather some more :P<br />Winter is coming here in South Africa. I was watching the sun in the bay window this morning and thinking, soon it will be time to sit there during the day and quietly work. You're just about to head into spring in Germany, so I'm sure you're looking forward to gardening and possibly some outings. Have you been vaccinated yet?

On a caravanning trip we wanted to walk to a nearby pub for lunch on midsummer's day. Crossing the fields we got completely lost and ended up on a marathon walk in the blazing sun.... for hours. I was ready to call out search and rescue and even SD was dragging her paws. We finally staggered back to the site late afternoon and each drank a gallon of water. It's so easily done, even in relatively familiar territory. Glad you both made it back in one piece. Also, thanks for the mention!

I grew up in a region where they farm corn and we were often told stories of children who got lost in the fields and were never found again. Thinking back, I realize that it was probably just that, stories to keep us from wandering. I know I certainly never ventured there on my own. <br />Still thinking of the maze, I wonder if a GPS would have been allowed, and if it would help you to find your direction to negotiate the maze. Probably not much more than a good old-fashioned compass. Our GPS was certainly worth nothing in the fields. If there isn't a road, it can't tell you where to go.

We have cornfields outside our city and some farmers make a corn maze in the fall. My granddaughter was about 8 years old and we decided to try it. The paths seemed pretty straightforward and we did fine until we left milestone number three. We walked along making what we thought was good progress, but ended up at milestone three again. This happened two more times before we opted for the escape path 😂. I’m sorry for your discomfort, but glad you eventually got home safely. The boxes are lovely.
