This afternoon we took advantage of the windless and warm day. I felt as if I was being pulled outside to enjoy the magnificence of the day. The children were somewhat reluctant but it did us all the world of good to get out and be free in nature. We headed off to a nearby dam, Silvermine.
The children had their fishing nets with them and were rather disappointed that the fish all seemed to be in hibernation. There was not one bite! Usually they catch so many!
Where there is water, children will get wet, even if there are no towels or spare clothes!
On the way up to the dam, I could not help but notice the splashes of colour on the mountainside. Here are a few of the flowers we saw and enjoyed today.
The Ericas are so dainty and pretty. We saw a sun bird too.
It always does me good to get out there. The children ran and played for a good few hours and fun was had by all! We will be visiting the dam more often and hopefully the fish will be biting next time!
