2 - Jobs for other people, number one in a series. The board in the background might jar with some, but the corner is named after 91-year-old national treasure Mr Walker, so one can't be too cross (K-5 IIs, DA 300)

3 - "You stick your right leg out..." (K-5 IIs, DA 300)

4 - Ready (K-5 IIs, DA 300)

Great set. Super eyes in #2, but what is going on in the background of #6? Is the guy at the back riding a lawnmower?

It was a practice session for mixed classes, but not quite that mixed.

I did see one or two riders having a go at the grass, mind...

And thanks, as ever, for the kind words.
