Home grown roller-coaster ...........

We were planning to go to the Warrnambool foreshore carnival for a bit of entertainment - mainly for you know who, plus Ben & Chloe.

Chloe decided she didn't want to wait, so set up her version of a roller-coaster in the back patio. Chairs for everyone including the safety bar across the front. Those of you familiar with the old Red Faces programme may find the attached picture reminiscent of the Australian Bob-sled Team act that scored so well on one of the early series.

At the given word, off it went. Throwing the passengers to and fro and up and down as it looped through its course. About the wildest ride we've ever been able to get Robbie on.

We can only hope there will be something as exciting at the carnival itself.
