Yesterday we visited my parents and for the first time this year the children could play out all afternoon and actually be warm! Mum and Dad are keen gardeners and have a brilliant garden for children, full of little pathways and places to hide. They also have trees to climb and slopes for riding down on the gardening trug so it's a lovely place to play.
Over the last few years the children have been giving Grandma and Grandpa a new resin animal at each birthday and Christmas so they now have a managerie of little creatures ( and a couple of not so little ones like the cockeral and hen and even a lamb!) which the children run around finding each visit. Apart from one trauma when a squirrel hidden in the grass came to blows with the lawnmower, these animals have been a huge success and provided hours of play. Yesterday they were recipients of a meal of daisy soup followed by a bath.
