Well, first day of the holidays is over and we have all managed to make it through - only 40 some odd to go... Today, rather than simply stay in the house and do nothing (which was, admittedly, tempting) we headed out to Hampton Court to meet one of my quilting blogger friends who was in town for the day. The kids and I went through the maze at Hampton Court - Alex actually chose the right paths each time, quite by chance, and got to the centre very quickly. The girls took a little longer.
They have a new thingy in the centre of the maze (new from the last time I was there, which was, admittedly, som time ago - probably about 5 years or so). After the maze, we met my friend for a coffee (or ice cream, depending on your personal inclination) and then headed over to Bushey Park, for a play in their excellent playground & sandpit and a little picnic. Saw a few deer on the way, as well. After exhausting ourselves there, we went home and put up the paddling pool - the weather finally, knock wood, seems to be cooperating about these matters... long may it last!
