Making myself popular

This week I took the family to the new mud bath. It was less muddy and more drinkable and we spent ages just drinking and cooling down. Mum was pretty pleased with me and says I can wander off more often if this is what I find.




The men were still there making bricks as usual and I see that the buildings are growing. There were also some tents and some new people who sat and watched us through binoculars as we drank. We stayed quite a while. I’m going to be pretty popular after this.

Making Mud Baths!


Been away for a few weeks, moving with the family around the park, so when I retuned to the ‘site’ (as I now call it) I couldn’t believe the activity – and the building. There are 4 brick-making machines now and thousands of bricks. That oven-thing wasn’t enough – there are lots more and they’re making bricks nineteen to the dozen.

But most important - I could smell water. I followed the scent, straight into a massive mud bath where I rolled around for a bit. It was fun and I’ll be back with my friends for more. There’s nothing like a good mud bath. While I was there the activity stopped and they all watched me. I pretended not to notice, but I’ll definitely be back!
