Valentine Day Strike

I am not on strike for Valentines Day - however it was 18 years ago today that the big squirrel and I became engaged and we did sweet f.a. to acknowledge that fact today. No it was our hard working and underpaid government teachers that were out on strike. While I support their plight, and understand that they have to do whatever they can to fight for the cause - I have to say I am getting a little  over the inconvenience of it all. 

 So instead of school we headed off to Emerald Lake to celebrate Eloise's birthday.

 A little picnic

 Saw Puffing Billy - and had a sit but no ride on it

 And then the weather cleared up perfect for a swim in their lake/pool.

It really was a lovely day - so away from it all with heaps to do in terms of bike tracks. play equipment etc. Worth a visit.
