Do I look like a rebel?

We visited a castle yesterday and, after high fiving the girl at the counter because we're English Heritage members, she told me to be careful on the steps and watch out for the molehills which to be fair she was warning everyone about. Then she said, 'And NO climbing on the walls!' I burst out laughing and she said that she'd met my sort before and we were worse than children. So we agreed that if I was very good and didn't climb on the walls she would open a jar of lemon curd for the sample table as I didn't like the rhubarb and ginger jam they had open.

So we looked around the castle and I only climbed on one little bit of wall because I wanted to fire a pretend arrow at an obnoxious spoilt little boy who needed to be back in the car and not ruining a brilliant castle for everyone else. True to her word she opened the lemon curd for me (although I didn't admit to the one little wall) .

What surprised me was the fact that she knew what type of granny I was. I dress quite conventionally and don't look wild but she totally saw through my disguise

It's not the first time me and DH have been warned off playing. When we took the children on a canal boat recently the guide told me and DH not to put our hands in the water but didn't mention it to the children or anyone else.

I admit to tree climbing, stream paddling and damming, water creature watching, whirling in a fairy grotto and hiding inside large overhanging trees but that's what having fun is all about. I just didn't think I looked the part
