The Woods

We've been doing a lot of walking in the woods, as Eloise has decided that she doesn't really like the beach.

She generally decides she doesn't much like the woods either, but once she gets there she usually enjoys it. We've been doing some exploring and finding new paths.

Usually it's fifty-fifty with her between walking and being carried, and for a while I got a bit of a sore neck as she weighs a ton these days, but she's pretty good as our walks are generally a couple of miles long.

She'd much rather go to the brook. I'm only prepared to countenance this on occasion as there's lots of construction work going on up there - the tunnel that going to run under the river from Wooloongabba to the Airport Arterial is running under the brook for part of its length.

Matilda is pretty treacherous up there in the refuse bins that are dotted around. Once she gets the sniff of food...
