At the Marina Barrage

Decided to bring Ash to the Marina Barrage yesterday morning. The way in was thru Marina South, but with the IR and Gardens projects going on, Marina South had become a major contruction zone with lorries everywhere. When we finally got there, I was a little disappointed to see that many schools had arranged for "educational" trips there as well. There were students at every corner and they treated the place as a playground.
Anyway, the weather was initially hot and sunny, I could see that Ash wasn't enjoying it very much, she's someone who's not much for the sun. Thankfully, a little later on, rain clouds came in and at one point, it looked like it was going to rain.
Ash is the timid kind in new places, it took some coaxing to convince her how much fun it was in the wading area, but once she went in, all her timidness just disappeared.
