we've been walking nearly every day in the past few weeks while we are obediently staying home (other than this!) and social distancing. we have walked past this park over and over, but had no idea what was there! from the road it just looks like bushland...
then the other day madeline said again to me, "mum what's down there?" so we went down the very uneven path and found ourselves a little oasis. at the end of a wooden boardwalk style path there is a roman bath style lake, with a few steps around the edge going down into the water - and even a waterfall! it is just gorgeous, other than the colour of the water haha and they have started calling it the secret garden.
the kids were loving the bunch of ducks swimming about and promised they'd be back to feed them soon...
which we have every day since! they must be loving life. bread, cereal... you name it, my kids have fed it to those poor ducks. maddie has even named one of them deanna, but says she doesn't have any duck friends cause she is always off far away from the others.
we also explored this incredibly gorgeous lane way that we have often spied from the car, but have never had the chance to walk through. it is so beautifully cared for with such gorgeous bushes and flowers growing down both sides - which clearly has not been done by our local council...
apparently it's done by the people that live either side and i love them for it! what a gorgeous thing to do.
the kids love it and want to walk through there all the time now and i can't say i blame them... i am rather partial to it myself.
i am loving our walks - this time with the kids each day chatting is the best!
