A nice kick about at Caldecott Rec

One of Harry's favourite games involves kicking a football. If I say "Stay!" he will wait patiently on the goal line and play at goal keeper.

The ball may look like it is going way over his head into the goal.

But if it is anywhere near, Harry will stop it. I can never dribble the ball past him he is just too good for me.

Harry meets a Tiger

The tiger was a not very scarey tiger admittedly, but a stuffed tiger being held by a stallholder at Jericho Street Fair. So no harm came of the meeting apart from the tiger getting a wet nose pushed into its face.

(For anybody who likes bubbles, like Harry does, there are pictures of bubbles at the Street Fair on the Not Abingdon Blog)

Harry on the steep bank

My wife is going away for three days and her biggest worry going away is that we will not notice if Harry's water bowl runs dry. If it did then just about every walk we do has access to a River. The bank on the picture may not look that steep but there was the risk Harry would fall in.

He had two or three goes then decided against and had to wait until there was an easier incline a little further on.

Gone are the days when he would have just tumbled in and scrambled out.
