Children! …Run Through Here! (Or Maybe Not!)

We have travelled a decent distance from Foxton,  and Little Mr. suddenly decides that he needs an urgent  pee-pee stop.

Whilst Himself helps him negotiate a good spot in the bushes that meets with Little Mr’s approval as far as privacy from passing traffic is concerned, I spy something in the next paddock that makes me laugh.

Clearly, if you had a bird’s eye view  it would be clear that there is a fenced path behind the paddock , but from this angle it looks all too much like the Bull has an open invitation for children to visit  and is waiting so that he can chase them.

Of course it’s safe for children to use the path, but from this angle it just looks wrong on too many levels.

Needless to say, Himself and Little Mr steered well clear of this paddock when looking for a suitable place to take care of natures call.

Post-it Note: Sometimes I take a Cow of a Photograph…

This area of the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island clearly has a sense of humour.  A little further in our travels I spy a rural letterbox that has me excitedly babbling in Himself’s ear that we need to turn around please so I can get a photograph.

Brilliant  husband that he is, he obliged with just just a raised eyebrow, wondering what on earth it was this time that has us screaming to a halt.

Since he has his eyes on the road an not on quirky bits parked to the sides of it, he usually hasn’t spotted the things I do,  so sometimes it’s a nice surprise for him to see what weird thing  we’ve turned back for (yet again).

Usually he and the kids appreciate the humour in my “finds” although I have been guilty of getting everyone to stop on occasion for stuff that looked interesting when we raced past but wasn’t when we turned around and took a closer look.

This little beauty is defiantly worth the U-turn and if this postbox doesn’t make the local Postie smile I don’t know what would.

Art, Creativity and Humour melded firmly with Practicability… Perfect!!!  This is the kind of thing the world needs a lot more of.
