Love the wellies – what were they looking for?
Nothing in particular. They were just enjoying being able to see the canal I think. They'd not been on that bridge before & its quite low so it was nice for them to be able to look 🙂 Am taking them there tomorrow to play pooh sticks 😀 x
Aww something has obviously got their interest!
Have to admit I was a bit worried they'd fall in! Over cautious Mummy alert haha x
Ah playing Pooh sticks?
No, funnily enough I thought when I looked at the picture afterwards that I should have taught them to play! I'm actually going to take them back to the same bridge tomorrow and film them playing for a video we are taking part in to promote https://www.50things.org.uk/
Awww what a beautiful photo! Pooh sticks are a right of passage!
Looks exciting! I love the wellies.
Awww, can't beat pooh sticks
That's a great photo, such curiosity.
Oh I was sure it was pooh sticks! Lovely photo anyway 🙂
We've been back to play Pooh Sticks today 😀 x
River, wellies, children – when does the adventure start?
Fab picture x I really need to know how to play pooh sticks…intrigued
We taught the kids to play yesterday. You basically throw your sticks in the river at the same time and see whose comes out the other side of the bridge first 😀 x
