"Let's all go for a walk eh?"

If Noakes-y (as he is affectionately called around College) says, "Let's all go for a walk eh?" my advice to you is...

RUN!
Run!... as fast as your stocking clad feet, heels and skirt will take you!!
Run!... if a walk to you means a trot to the dairy for milk and bread!
Run!... if you only walk as far as the smell of a good coffee takes you....
Run I say! (I can hear you all harping now.... "Run Forrest! Run!")

Yesterday, Noakes-y took us on a 'walk' to a small waterfall. Granted we were encouraged to wear walking shoes but nobody said anything about having to pick-a-path through the bush/stream, that we would require bursts of energy to leap (and leap I did just like a gazelle!) from rock to rock or anything about getting my feet wet!

I have to concede though:

Yes... the waterfall was lovely
Yes... it was good to get a bit of fresh air into the lungs
Yes... I know, water won't kill me!
And yes... I had a good time!


On the return journey, the good major waded past me through the waters as I was (not so delicately at one point!) leaping around, and quipped: "Come on! It's inevitable Karen - you're gonna get your feet wet!"

Although I did agree at the time, can I just say that I came, I lept and I conquered!... and I left with dry feet and even Noakes-y's lovely wife Vyvyenne can vouch for that!
