Monday 14th March
Adelaide Cup day today so we left and headed for the hills to Belair National Park with our Amigos the Bloss family. Up some twisty windey roads, much loathed by Rachel and in to a lovely area where the there is a big park and kids stuff. When we arrived with our small coolbag of slightly limp sandwiches, warm bottled water and melted chocolate we were greeted by the sight of Aussie families under large self erected canopies with horse sized barbeques, cooled vats of wine and chilled kegs of beer all placed around a central wooden table likely carved that morning from a recently felled tree. They certainly know how to picnic with style and comfort. The kids had great fun and especially enjoyed it when two emu were running around not too far away. They looked a little scared and scampered off when someone shouted 'Where's Rod Hull?' but then again I'd look a little scared if I thought an old man was going to shove his hand up my backside and use me as a puppet!
Tom was convinced he would see a snake and kept pointing out every stick or twig. Thankfully they were only sticks or twigs. Stopped on the way home for Ice cream just to round off a lovely day - very hot - 36C
Sleep well y'all. x
Clamo, clamatis, omnes clamamus pro glace lactis.
