Jack and Katrina's Place

Summer finally arrived in February and so did Katrina's cousin Sarah for 10 days before she could move into her flat. To keep cool we took a bush walk one Sunday down through the Otari Bush Reserve to the picnic area by the stream. It didn't take Guy long to detect running water and he was determined to be in it, trying to climb down the fern covered banks. He led Sarah out onto the bridge and squealed with delight when Jack dangled his feet in the water like a lure for eels. Below the bridge there was shingle bank and Guy tottered out to investigate the shiny wet rocks and rushing water. It's nice to be able to do all this about 1km from our house (as the crow flys).
