Big sticks and cows
I love living in the countryside. The other day my Dad came home from work to get me to go and help rescue some escaped cows belonging to one of his colleagues at work. About 16 of their cows had made a bid for freedom over a hedge and had ended up happily munching on another farm's grass. So that evening half a dozen or so of us headed off with big sticks in tow to bring them back. It turned into quite an expedition; hacking out a way through a very overgrown path, walking up streams and shouting at cows. We all got quite wet and muddy. I really like cows but the little calves were particularly cute. Then we went back to the house to hose the mud off of ourselves ... the japes, the japes.
Reminds me of doing our Duke of Edinburgh expedition with my friend who had just come down from London, she had never seen a cow before and got scared when we walked through a field containing a herd of cows. She panicked and sprinted for the otherside but the cows thought this was a great game and a load of them chased after her lol. The rest of us had to make us much noise and movement as we could so we'd be more interesting to the cows ... we made such a fool of ourselves in that field.
I finished at Marlborough yesterday and the kids got me a book (for me to teach next year) and all signed it awwww. Can't wait to see the dvd of their performance ... will be the first entry in my portfolio ... a load of crazy pirates doing really cheesy rap and rock and roll dances. That and my attempts at artwork for the scenery.
The main thing I learned ... you can make ANYTHING out of cardboard hahaha.
Here's the one photo I have so far of the ball... well pre ball, it's not very exciting I'm afraid but I forgot my camera so I just got photo's off other people:
