Winter mud

It was quite an unseasonably warm day on Monday and Sarra had a student free day so we decided to take the kids for a walk at the Gorge. The kids had never seen the pool in winter and it was all green and yuk. As usual Oliver wanted to chase the peacocks and the pristine setting was ruined by me yelling at him to stop.



In stark contrast to this beautiful basin is out the back of our house, out by the police compound. It is so muddy and boggy and full of potholes and puddles. It has a driveway which leads to the back of the police station and to the back of our house. Any chance the kids get, they get out there on their bikes and come back absolutely filthy.


After that I made them play outside in their underwear. I did say it was an unseasonably warm day.
