So the famous 4 had 'poddidge' for breakfast and toast whilst loooking at our down the hill sea view from our wooden sleep out. Then at 9am, after negotiating enthusuastic dogs, we met our hosts Colleen and Ross in their farm house and chatted introductions over cups of tea. 7 and 11 yr old Liam and Stuart played with our two. Before we had finished chatting their days film allowance was taken up with Puss in Boots. There are a lot of toys here plus two wood burners one of which is a wetback Rayburn reconditioned from UK so all the kids are happy.
So we fed animals. Chased geese back into their pen. Unloaded trailers. Moved firewood. Rehung a gate. Moved a two car tyre wormery. Moved a kennel. Remembered to leave gates as we found them. Admired the view. Stomped about a lot. Breathing fresh air. Got hungry. Fiddled with small socks getting lost in wellies or 'gumboots' as they are known here. Enjoyed tomato soup made by Sarah for lunch. Then afternoon off. we slept . played in our cabin. Then liam and stuart were home schooled.
Then shared dinner at house again. Playing with the toys. Battery powered remote control the highlight producing squeals of delight from our two.
Esmes language and confidence talking has made a jump in the last few days. Amazing to see
