Ekatarina in Wiltshire. Part 2.
Here we all are, after lunch, enjoying the sunshine in Roger and Sue's garden.
Ekatarina sits under the apple tree, which was laden with fruit.
There are always games to play in a Wiltshire garden.
Clock golf was set up for our amusement.
I was certainly amused, but not very successful. I played a game with Ashley and I won only 3 of the holes.
Roger also had a game with Ashley - and once again it seems that Ashley came out on top.
So, here is a picture of the champion golfer of the afternoon.
We took some food to the field for the sheep. They quite like the apples from the tree, although they are not ripe yet. They really loved the cabbage leaves that Sue had saved for them.
Ekatarina is watched by Sue's Uncle Gordon.
Once the sheep in the field belonged to Roger and Sue. But they no longer keep sheep. So, Adrian who has been both a pupil of Roger's and a next door neighbour now uses the field for his sheep.
Then we walked along the footpaths to The Elisha Field, which has a good chldren's playground.
I assumed that the name of this local amenity was of biblical origin; but in fact is named after Mr and Mrs Elisha who once did a lot for the village.
Ekatarina overcame some fears to walk across this balancing beam.
"I did it!" she called out after the first time and then enjoyed it again and again.
Ekatarina also enjoyed the experience of running through the tunnels.
After tea we went to see the calf in the barn.
This calf belongs to the young son of Adrian (who owns the sheep). The lad went to market and made the instant decision to get into the rearing of cattle.
We enjoyed a lovely day with Roger and Sue in Wiltshire. The sun shone and we were able to enjoy the wide open spaces of the garden. We enjoyed good meals too.
