On Sunday after the meeting we went for a drive to Banchory we had lunch at a pub. Dad had bangers and mash, Sam, Matt and mum had a steak guinness Pie and I had battered haddock (fish) and chips.
After lunch we went for a walk and we came to the River Dee where there are falls. We saw a blue heron sitting on a rock in the sun and mum saw a couple of fish jumping out of the water, but they weren't big enough to be Salmon. We went down to the river bank and threw rocks into the water. Dad and Sam played chase jumping across the rocks mum got scared when dad jumped across the rocks because mum thought that he'd hurt his ankle again, but it was fun!
When we put our arms in the water to get rocks our arms froze. Well mabye they didn't freeze, but it felt like it!
Can you see the blue heron?
Hi Jo Jo - loved your story

Hello again Jo - I tried 3 times to post you a nice long comment, and everytime it was not accepted, so, I thought I would send you just a short comment until I sorted it out. It sounds like you had a lovely time at the River Dee - that is a good rhyming word, isn't it. Your arms must have been very cold if that felt like they were frozen - imagine what it would be like in the middle of winter - maybe the river would be frozen. Yes, I can see the blue heron. Did you take the photo??
ReplyDeleteWe are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the blackberry picking - did you got any prickles?? Apple and blackberry pie would be yummy!! - with icecream of course!
So you got stung by the nettles - they hurt, don't they are their sting does last for a long time - a bit like a wasp. I bet you will all be careful next time.
When you return from Ireland you will have many more stories to tell. Did you see any Irish dancing??
Keep well, lots of love,
