Jump!

Here's Alex having a go on the trampoline at Bockett's Farm Park - it was a very cold visit to the farm, but we really needed to get out of the house for a while as we have been totally taken over by having the living room painted - the living room is inaccessible, of course, but so is the computer/dining room - well, not inaccessible, but really crowded, as that's where all the stuff that would normally be in the living room is. So when I drover Sarah & a few others down to Guide camp yesterday (they only went for 1 night as they all were sitting the secondary school entrance exam in the morning) I took Alex along for the ride and then over to the farm for a few hours. He had a great time, but it was really cold. Even in the playbarn, he kept his coat on the whole time.

This morning we even work up with a small coating of snow - not really enough to get excited about (unless you are 5) but it was there. Olivia, on Brownie Pack Holiday should be ok, as they were sleeping in cabins, but Sarah & the other guides were sleeping in tents - I reckon they had a very cold night. The leader rang this morning and said they were going to pack up a little early today - leave at 2pm rather than 4pm - which I can understand as the snow has now turned to rain and it's still really cold. Of course, if you will plan a camping trip in November!! Then again, last weekend was so mild we didn't need coats on, so you never know.
