Worcester

Although we never thought we would be anything but southerners who spoke English correctly and as Elise puts it, using 'royal English'. We have been in Worcester for nearly 2 and a half years. And although we miss family, we love it.

Today Marissa, JJ and I took Elise and Nathan to school and walked on to the river. Here in Worcester we don't just feed ducks, oh no, we are of a much higher class and go to feed the swans. In fact there are so many swans on the river that the kids usually get more excited if they get a glimpse of a boring old mallard.

The Sun was shining, it was lovely and warm and we had nothing to hurry back for. JJ was enjoying a nice nap so we carried on strolling along the riverside. Well me strolling and Marissa staying in the buggy (she assured me she was not going to get out ever again). But I was loving the scenery and got very snap happy.

I took this one...

and this one...

and this one.

And obviously too many as Marissa got very whingy until we saw this....

You can guess what happened next. The forever stuck bottom was up, socks and shoes were off and trousers rolled up.

Even J joined in.

We had a lovely morning that couldn't even been spoiled by the funny looks we were given on the walk home at Marissa's feet drying method.
