Discovery day

---

one wet afternoon - today - we went to the old limestone quarry to discover all about it. Last year we spent a very wet evening watching an outdoor play there. Once again the magic worked and the rain didn't seem to matter, everyone had a lovely time. All sorts to see, good beer to drink, and a barbie too.

have been covered to protect them.I'm on the viewing platform.

house building
getting the children to make a model house with wattle - the daub was waiting nearby, a mixture of clay, straw and sawdust, mixed by another gang of kids.

blow your own trumpet
we made these "ship's hooters", which sound like tug boats, and practised at home!!!! very noisy.
