Crikey pikey!

Pip and Mama went on their Monday adventure today. Since Oliver's at school and we no longer meet our lovely friends Fie and Lucas we decided to make Monday adventure day and do something a little different.

With a choice of swimming, cycling or walking, Pip opted for cycling. It proved to be an optimistic choice for him as it was freezing (not quite late enough for the beautiful sun to warm up the earth), windy and Mama's cycling may have left a little to be desired! But if you put aside the constant requests to go home, we had a great time in the adventure playground once bike had been handed back.

But more excitingly, a very kind man stopped us just as we were about to leave the pond to show us his first catch of the day. A 14lb pike. It was "massive" as Pip said. Just look at those teeth. He let us get up, close and personal and then (after weighing and photos) let it go to sulk in the shallow waters while it got its breath back. Quite literally....

Not something you see everyday.
