[Joanna kate]

Certainly sparse shade in that heat

[Connie Little]

Not much shade to be had there.

@summerfield only because it is growing in the dam, where there is still plenty of water ;-)

[Diana]

@suzanne234 @henrir There is plenty of shade and trees all over the estate. The older one were busy eating and the little ones just had to wait ;-)

[Poppo Livy]

And the siblings are trying to get some shade from the spindly little tree

[Gillian]
