The Kids Are Alright - The Who Part I

 We think it was roundly agreed at the mention of the 3 Wise Men in a recent Post, that they hailed from the East and that my fantastic guide and mentor in Taiwan, Vicky Cheng, whom we will hear from again on Sunday, was also found in that direction. What we were not expecting, until recent days, was to get a hat-trick in such short time with the arrival of the Cambodians!

Taken at their last visit in 2015 - a drop of water under the bridge since then!

Benny, Alex, Fred and Lizzy

My 4 Grandchildren and their parents are all of British / Australian dual citizenship but currently live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and now stretching their legs for a few weeks as the restrictions allow back here in the UK.

Only 2 at a time it was Lizzy and Fred who drew the 'short staws'

and after the 'brief' it was straight on to some serious

MOTHING

with Lizzy being facinated with the

BUFF-TIP

and Fred equally so with the much larger

POPLAR HAWK-MOTH
Unfortunately, the first mammal to be encountered was a dead

MOLE
but ever onward.

A short adventure with some of the
Heavy Plant

before heading from the Heath and finding a hatched

BLACKBIRD's EGG

WOOD MOUSE
before heading for an encounter with the

Rare Breed Goats

with the

FRENCH ALPINE
creeping up behind them before it was time for

Fried Eggs and Lindt Lindor Chocolates
before bed.
Moths again in the morning was followed by the

Equestrian Ladies

inviting them to take a ride.

A carrot or 2 seemed to keep the mount subdued as

as Fred took to it like a Duck to Water

with Lizzy

not being quite so enthusiastic.
What was guaranteed to please, as it had on the last visit,

was a trinket but full size
Bow and Arrows

purchased from the Navajo / Hopi Tribe during one of my wanders through
Deepest California
while it was just about at the point of departure that we found the

REED WARBLERs
chattering away at the Main Pond and the

Joggers

Approaching from the West.
IT IS SAFE TO SAY A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!
Part II to Follow.
