Weekend

Sean and I went out with Michelle and Richard on Saturday night. We were supposed to go to the Gurkha Palace but it was so full that there wasn't a table for us, so we went to Giovanni's instead. It was lovely going out with the two of them, and we had a happy evening.

On Sunday, Sean and I went out for breakfast, then to Holy Mass. We had coffee in town on the way home. We read a bit of the newspapers then went to pick up Wendy, as Sean had promised to take her out in a rowing boat. Needless to say, her mate Brakkie came too. He is a Schipperke, or a Belgian Barge dog. He was bred to live on a boat but he had never gone out in one, so this was his chance to fulfil his destiny ;)) Or, as Maslow may have put it, it was 'the self actualisation of the Brak' ;))

At the boathouse


She was a little unsure at first, so she sat with me.
She soon entered in to the spirit of the adventure.


She soon wanted to learn how to row, though.


See what joy such a simple pleasure brought with it


The Brak pretending to be an Old Sea Dog


We fed this swan


The swans had 6 cygnets


We fed these ducks too. One still had yellow baby down.


We saw the Light Railway train go by.
Wendy had a lot of fun waving, and some people were kind enough to wave back.



The Military Canal is in a beautiful setting. We are blessed by such beauty.


After that, we popped in at my Mum's place. Wendy took great delight in showing Sean her seedlings. She already has some growing in my mum's garden, and watching them grow is a great pleasure in her life.


Rain? What a great reason to bring the umbrella out!
All kids seem to love them.
