E hasn't been swimming in his life, as I can't swim and am pretty scared of water. But this weekend we went with his (half) brother Jake, myself and the woodsman down to the River Itchen, near Itchen Abbas, and paddled in the shallows. It was such fun! E needed some persuading to get in but once in he didn't want to get out. Another family came for a paddle with their dog, who was *very* excited about the whole thing, and E kept shouting 'woof woof'. All great fun. We then popped in to see a friend who gave us a big bowl full of home grown raspberries. Jake - who is now 12 - said it was the best Sunday he's had in ages, much better than sitting and playing X Box!

Sounds like a super time was had by all. Even better than XBox - crikey!!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound wonderful and I like the photograph. Where is it from? One of yours?
ReplyDeleteNope, photo credit at bottom of post - found it on Flickr. It was a spontaneous visit to the river so we didn't take camera, which was such a shame
ReplyDeleteAh yes! Sorry didn't notice the credit!
