Monday 11th May: Bitterly cold day but a little sun early afternoon. In the morning we schooled and Steve popped out and got the groceries.
After lunch Steve and Peter went to the 'White Horse' on the hill overlooking Waimate to range-test his aeroplane. We had heard of the White Horse before we arrived and had images of something similar to the one in England. This one turns out to be smallish and made of lumps of concrete and can just be identified from down in town. But when you drive up to the White Horse, the view down is stunning, across the flat plains to the sea. The two photos are views from the top, of Waimate (amazing how compact the town is) and the ocean beyond, and of the snow-covered mountains the other way.
The boys and I went off to gymnastics and then home for a quick tea. I took Edward to Cubs and he got his Hobbies badge this evening for his electronics projects he loves to do. I went to TKD, then home for Monday evening's Desperate Housewives and Spooks.
