New "Mates" for Ben and Chris

No, Ben and Chris have not found girlfriends!  Here in England, boys call their friends "mates".  Little did we know when we rented a cottage in the Cotswolds, that the owners, who live right next door to the cottage, had two boys too.  Not only did they have two boys, but they were also ages 8 and 6.  Needless to say, Ben and Chris were thrilled to meet Ewan and Archie.  The four boys hit it off wonderfully.  Ben and Chris even got to have "tea" with their new mates at their house.  B and C are going to miss you two!
