下午茶 Afternoon Tea and Lakeside Fun

星期六下午三點,等待小表弟Ishan喝飽了母奶,小阿姨和姨丈帶著逵革一行人去喝下午茶。
At around 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, after Craig's Cousin Ishan had finished feeding, Craig's Aunty Bess and Uncle Amitha took Craig and the postnatal care team out for afternoon tea.

小表弟Ishan就一如往常地安靜的睡在推車內,在逵革姨丈位子的旁邊,姨丈可以就近照顧。大家分享五份不同的蛋糕,一直享受到五點多才離開。
Craig's Cousin Ishan did his now usual thing of quietly sleeping in his pram beside Craig's Uncle Amitha where he could be easily looked after. Everyone shared five kinds of cake and they ate so liesurely that they didn't leave until after 5 o'clock.

在回家的路上,小阿姨帶大家到她和姨丈以前住的地方,那個社區有個兒童遊樂區,還有一個湖,湖旁有好多的鵝和鴨,逵革最愛看鴨子了,逵革和姑婆以及媽咪留下來看看鴨子散散步,其餘的人就先回家了。
During the trip back home Craig's Aunty Bess took everyone back to the place where Aunty Bess and Uncle Amitha used to live. There is a childrens playground in the community and a lake. Lots of geese and ducks live beside the lake and Craig loves to look at ducks. Craig and Craig's Great Aunt From the Fifth Floor and Craig's Mum went for a walk to look at the ducks while everyone else went back home.


逵革其實分不清楚鵝和鴨,但是他真的非常喜歡牠們,不停地跟在牠們的後頭走。
Craig couldn't tell the difference between the geeses and the ducks but that didn't matter because he liked all of them and didn't stop following them everywhere.


傍晚的光線落在湖邊的公寓上,加上湖邊悠閒的鴨子,讓人覺得住在這個社區也很不錯,後院走出來就是湖邊,隨時可以坐在湖邊看鴨子,逵革一定會很喜歡。
The late afternoon sun falling across the apartment building and houses, in addition to the relaxed manner of the ducks beside the lake made the visitors think this was a really nice little community. Being able to walk out of your backyard onto the lakeside to watch the ducks walk back and forth is something that Craig would surely love.

隔一天下午姑婆和阿嬤又去採購,就順路將逵革和媽咪載到湖邊玩,逵革又跟著鴨子走來走去,直到小阿姨和姨丈帶著Ishan來了,逵革才到遊樂區玩,玩到太累鬧脾氣才被載回家睡午覺(五點應該晚覺了)。
The next day, when Craig's Taiwanese Grandma and Great Aunt From the Fifth Floor were going shopping (again!) they dropped Craig and Craig's Mum off at the lake again. Craig followed the ducks around until Craig's Aunty Bess, Uncle Amitha and Cousin Ishan arrived. Craig then moved on to the childrens playground where he played until he became a bit too tired and cranky so he was taken back home for a nap. (It was a late 5pm nap.)
