Although it wasn’t sunny weather, we decided to go out for a picnic tea in the afternoon - quickly packed up some snacks and juices, and headed off to Rosemary Plain. It was quite cool in the country, but we were armed with sufficient clothing, anticipating the temperature drop. Remember I mentioned the strong winds a week or two ago, which blew down many trees (see post for 16/09)? You have to actually see it to believe it – there were quite a few blown-down trees out that way. The entire tree actually gets uprooted and falls down, impaling some of the branches into the ground. It’s quite a sight. We saw a number of these uprooted trees as we drove home, too. The boys collected pine cones while we were out, which were lying around all over the place (strong winds), and then when we got home we burned them, and some pieces of wood and cardboard boxes, which made the boys very excited (or excitable).
