Dashing Days

Spring is in the country and this weekend will be the rabbit-hopping, chocolate-egg-hunting day. Rabbits are definitely plentiful although I've not been hunting for eggs. Anyway, this post is about my few days with Amy and Caroline! 

Chocolate Crispees and Marshmallows

We've had a lot of Chocolate Crispees in that short period of time. Amy and I watched 'Catch Me If You Can' and 'Tangled' on two separate 'movie nights' while indulging in our finger food/ dessert. Both are fantastic movies in their own ways (ie. I have soft spots for Di Caprio and Disney...Hey! What if there's a fusion of the two?!). That aside, I enjoyed our Disney-soundtracks moments!

She's got a dream! (He's got a dream!)
They've got a dream! (We've got a dream!)
So our differences ain't really that extreme!
We're one big team...!
Call us brutal, sick, sadistic

And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!

~'I've Got A Dream' from the Tangled soundtrack~



Surprised-Doggy spectre



While Caroline was around, we've been out by the river as well as unexplored roads that lead upstream. Crossing a bridge, we found ourselves close to an open field with ducks, geese, sheep and horses. Lately I've noticed their adorable offsprings flocking right behind the village too. The season is announcing itself for sure.

We've talked about paddling in the chilly stream one day. I only realised later that there are leeches in the deeper region of the river (which is not that deep actually; I don't think it would even reach my knee). Thankfully I learnt about it the easy way when a family came by and went in.

The River

While walking back from the University, Amy and I found a different-though-slightly-longer path back to our accommodation. It's actually quite a nice place for walks. That's next on my list.

So this is an account of my Spring-welcoming, Easter-arriving, Crispee-and-Marshmallow-Eating, Movie-Soundtrack-Singing, Upstream-Exploring days last week. Whoop~ would you be able to read the previous sentence in one breath?


Well, I just tried it and it's possible.
