SATURDAY 30 July: Tunneling Adventure

Cato:

So Mum remembered the Tunnel, wot AuntieCrystal wanted to see.  And we wanted to see it too.  So Mum and Dad came with us to the big park with the lake, and we went and found the Tunnel entrance.  It was quite difficult, cos it was so overgrown, but I found it - see?

Follow me!

It was very cool and sniffy and damp.  Dad said there would be mud.

this bit was fun.  We had a fight.

it woz a very looooong tunnel (Mum:300 yards or so),

lots of interesting sniffy stuff on either side.

Mum says that the ridgy bit is the line of an old boundary.  Hedge or something, and the woods are probably the hedge wot has grown and spread.  Mr TV Man says that you can tell the age of a hedgerow by the number of species growing in it.  Some hedges are as old as Donte and Lacey's castle!!!

Tara:

We woz waiting for Slow Coach Mum!  Can you see my sprouts?  They were bored of waiting.

They have cut all the hay and left it to dry.  It is VERY SNIFFY.  And prickly.  And short arses can't run through it, and get picked up and given lifts.  Not fair!!!

There is lots and lots and lots of hay

It was hotter in the sun, so we had a drink and a rest.  You can't see it here, but I had a twig, grass, seeds AND some food in my hair.  Aren't I clever!

Haha!  Cato needs a face trim, doesn't he?

Mum says this is a pic of a silly woman taking her 2 children to meet swans.  I have met swans.  The woman is being VERY silly cos they are HUGE and bossy.

Mum says that is even sillier than me and the catflap, but I am not silly, I am scared.  The woman has her children between the swans and her!!!  Our Mum would NEVER do that with Vicious Attack Swans, would she?

This is the swimming area.  I really wanted to go swimming.  It looks such fun!  But some meanie has put green fence stuff in the way!

Mum:

Arty ducks and duckweed, shot from footbridge

remember the tiny 8 signets in the spring? Well they have done incredibly well - there are 6 survivors!

the white feathers are coming through...

Any idea what this is?  Grows like a sweet pea, flowers like an orchid, just casually climbing up the dogswimmingarea fence.

Oooo I'm giddy with excitement seeing what's in the tunnel and beyond....I love it in there and would have stayed longer just relishing the sight. ...one picture looks just like the forest in NZ...beautiful sight....

I had a good old laugh at dad clumsily crossing the mud bog...Hehehehe ....Almost a Kodak moment if he slipped aye mom? 

Your right about those swans and the kids...silly mama will learn soon enough when one chases after the kids. Loving your sprout pictures Tata! They are getting real long now, Well Done girl friend.

Dont worry about being short Cato, you have to be careful with that hay stubble.....they are sharpe and hurt to.

So happy all the signets have survived and thriving...so beautiful

Thank you @AuntieCrystal.  It woz Mum that gave me the lift in the hay field.  It was lovely.  She didn't put me down til I had stopped panting, so it woz a nice long lift.  Tara beat me up after, cos she woz jealous, but it didn't matter.  I woz just happy about the lift.

Mum is going to brush me in a minute.  We watch television together and I love it.

My guess about the sweet pea looking flower is "vetch" - a wild form of sweet pea.  We have a lot of it around here.

Tara - your sprouts are to die for.  I think you're almost ready to go on the road with a rock band.

That vetch looks exactly right.  Thank you.  If we go back, I will try and get more pics.

Tara now wants to know what a Rock Band is.  

What have you started...?
