Afternoon-tea break.

This photo was taken last Friday during my afternoon-tea break at the swimming pool. Luke biked over and we sat under this magnificent tree eating Thai curry, soaking up the sun and drinking some delicious New Stead apple juice. We also went to the dairy and brought some lollies with the coins in our pockets and a chocolate chip colored bouncy ball.
