"Don't be such a goose.....!!"

Last week we had a little walk around Kent St. Park, the main feature being the weir, which has changed dramatically since it was introduced as a 'sand bag' weir' in 1911 (Kent St Weir). I have to be honest and say that until I read the link I wasn't fully aware of how important the weir was to the surrounding and beyond environment for both the flora and fauna. This young family were enjoying a very pleasant sunny afternoon swimming and boating in the 'weir pool', Mum sitting in her directors chair, drink at hand, knowing the girls were being supervised by big brother..in fact it completely made my day when as they passed by me I heard older brother say to his sister "don't be such a goose" have to say it took me straight back to my Enid Blyton 'Secret Seven' days when Peter would have said the very same thing to his sister Janet !!  Oh how I loved Enid B adventures..does anyone else have pleasurable memories of lying in the sun reading these stories.....?  ps. not a pelican in sight haha!!
