We take a walk up the mile and a half to the waterfall - all 16 foot of Shropshire's only waterfall! Bradley's not too keen on it, he gets splashed and won't go near it again. Esme thinks it's great and does a wibble wobble for the camera. Later we take the steps (behind Amanda) up to the top. A dumb move as I have to carry Bradley up (not so bad) and back down (very scary!)
We're there only a few minutes and unpacking, when I see Bradley disappearing up the stream, I shout to come back, he pauses, shrugs his shoulders and carries on. He's getting more and more independent these days. Have to keep our eye on him.	We're just starting off on our long, long, long trip. If I had realised that I'd have to carry Bradley all the way up! When we're nearly there, two women say to Bradley, "and you walked all the way by yourself?" "No! I carried the lazy bugger." By this time I'm panting and dripping in sweat.
Must get that hub cap replaced.	With the waterfall just in the background and Amanda disbelieving that we walked all this way for that tiny thing, we take a rest.

Amanda's taken them out to pick some strawberries from a local farm. We all pig out on them. A few days later I look in the fridge and see we really ought to pig out more on them. They go soggy too quick.

Flying like birds.

I've more pix on the camera, but someone's doing the carpet on the stairs. These were from 1st June, when we had our first proper sunshine. I bought them a new swimming pool, more pix have Bradley naked in them so Manda doesn't want them blogged. Our garden is becoming more like lego-land, with kiddy-klutter everywhere. The rest are from the Telford Town Park. Esme's red hair looks wonderful in this light. And godknows what Bradley's shouting about, nothing in particular, I think he was just marching and shouting, he like doing that.
