Precipice


Olijfje and Archie (his vowel was rectified recently) were thrilled with their new backpacks. They didn't turn out quite as planned, since Archie really wanted the 'Acorn Model' and Olijfje wouldn't hear of a boring square item, so I had to be inventive. They are tough customers, these two. Once packed (some dry leaves for Archie and a wooden apple for Olijfje), they started on their first hike. Unfortunately, due to nasty meteorological conditions and the twins' propensity for drowning in puddles, it was decided they would hike indoors. You can see them nervously glancing over the edge of the sheer drop cliff at the back of the armchair. (The dust, they are thinking, the dust!!!)

Mark is right. The apple backpack is the most wonderful thing. Hillary eat your heart out!
