  • BARCing again and the 3 witches!

    Posted at 3:09 am by Charlotte, on June 21, 2019

    In school, Rob and the girls have mostly drawn inspiration and learning materials from the culture around us in each moment, but in order that Bella keeps up with the St Christophers Y6 English curriculum, they spent a few weeks this dipping into Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Midsummer Nights Dream, and Romeo and Juliet.  On Friday, they performed a great rendition of ‘Double Double Toil and Trouble’

    Rob made an excellent 3rd witch to round out the triefecta

    Break time for Bella today constituted coconut tree climbing practice!  I’m convinced Agus will get her up the real thing before we are done.

    We returned for the afternoon to the BARC dog rescue safehouse where they nurse the animals that are too sick to flourish in their sanctuary (which houses more than 350 animals, many ready waiting to be re-homed).

    Happy reunion with some of our old friends: Lady, Rosie and Clara

    This visit we were trusted with dog washing, so we started with Daisy who was the most gentle unwanted ex-breeder labrador that you could hope for.

    She even stood like a rock while she was vigorously rubbed dry.

    Then I got to wash my beloved Lady.  When wet and lathered it was apparent that she is still a skinny little thing despite all the best efforts of the staff.  They can only feed her up slowly on pumpkin and tiny pieces of meat as she can’t hold down rich food, or too much at a time.

    It doesn’t get much cuter does it?

    Emily gets cosy with Clara, another abandoned ex-breeder who is sadly dying from cancer

    Bella takes a turn with Lady while I cuddle little Missy – the plumpest chihuahua!

    On our way home, Rob met us for dinner at the infamous Famous.  It was the very first restaurant we went to in Bali (for a pizza hit!), and has become the most frequent (Bob is there most days!).

    Its not exactly authentic Indonesian, but it does a mean pizza and has filled many happy bellies for us!

      What a brilliant way to learn. Quite apart from the formal schooling Bella and Millie must have absorbed an astounding amount of information, cultures and lifestyles without even realising it. OK, and dogs are cute as well, I think Charlotte has caught that one badly! Forgot to say, I’m sure Bella will find her ability to climb coconut trees really useful in the uk! Thank you yet again Monicos for including us in your experiences.
