Writing challenge eleven

On the way home Kerry and I began to reminisce, sharing memories of our childhood which had seemed idyllic in many ways. We lived with our parents in a cottage near a field that was planted with lavender every year.. Dad was a fore runner of the current trend of working from home. His study was out of bounds to us girls, but as a result we would deliberately take every opportunity however tortuous to find a way to sneak in and hide, sometimes removing two small items from the desk as a token of our success. We would never renege on one another if questioned, profit sharing
our ill gotten gains. Dad as a self employed entrepreneur was able to work autonomously and to take time off to spend time with us.Mum would cook rotisserie chicken and our cousins would visit to play with us on the margins of the lavender field.
