The Blue Pool

 It's become something of a tradition to visit The Blue Pool. There are several reasons for this not least the lower expense in comparison with Monkey World. However it is here that Augustus John painted Dorelia and so it's necessary to have many photographs of our Dorelia at this world famous beauty spot. We don't bother asking Dory what she thinks of this.
 Though there are lots of things to do as it's Easter there are chicks and rabbits nailed to crosses to be located around the woodland.

 And when that's done just hang out in an old tree.
 To match the John painting, our Dory is meant to be recumbent. Far too cold.
 This was meant to be a group picture but Meave thought something more theatrical would help.

"Chicks and rabbits nailed to crosses"?. Is this some sort of cult?

Easter seems a good time to crucify wee creatures.

There was a trail through the woods to interest little people in shifting themselves from the dinette. Representations of chicks and rabbits were, OK, fastened to trees at heights which the kids found moderately hard to see. It was Easter. I was trying to drag in some connexion between chicks and bunnies with the ecclesiastical year.
