Walk of life

So technical issues have meant that the last 3 posts have disappeared... so to recap.

Its that time of year when yours truly plays the pied piper and walks across the Bonsai Mountain 

followed by 65 school kids and half a dozen or so teaching staff where they all

get to see the great outdoors

and climb the bonsai mountain.

This time from a new angle as the Covid 19 stuff means no buses for the kids to get to the usual start point.

The kids love the chance to miss lessons and for some reason I have become a bit famous for my less than true stories as we wander, the best one this year being The Monk and the 3 Badgers written by a monk who was moonlighting as a stone mason in 3 quarries where the rocks were too soft, too hard or just right. His story became..... well they guessed, can you?

One of the children happened to be the apprentice who amazed all his class mates by his horse whispering skills.

Benjy his pony is still at large in the wilderness but trotted over to his bestie to say hello.

Lunch was a small affair on account of Covid 19 weight gain

end of play saw all of us return safely after 7 fun miles in glorious weather.
