Helix North

Helix North

For the second week of our holiday, we had a loose structure to the day; jobs in the morning, outings in the afternoon. Today we trimmed the front hedge, which allowed the kids to clamber all over it and make it all tufty again.

In the afternoon, we took the bikes to The Helix to show Helen the Kelpies. Bikes are the ideal way to get around as it's pretty spread out, and it was while exploring Helix North that Louis - who had been up ahead - turned around and ran back to tell us that there was "a massive butt around the corner".

Lo and behold, there is. It's a sculpture called Love and Kisses set in community woodland, and from certain angles it does indeed resemble a massive arse. Other more charitable interpretations would include a heart, a bicycle saddle, or a huge pair of lips.

As for The Helix as a whole, it'll be nice when it's finished :-)
