A civilised day out...

We've been doing a few things... and not just in my head either; that's just how I'm updating this god-forsaken offering to the lord of the internets.

Charlie and I sometimes meet a group of mates for outings where we basically get the kids outside, crank 'em up and let them run themselves down so far that they sleep for a month. We tend to end up at places like Barnes Wetland Centre where we like to imagine the civilising effect we are having on our offspring; although in fact we are actually there for the awesome playground and the cafe.

This time it was Wisley and it was brilliant - you can walk around all day and every 5 minutes something new heaves into view that the kids want to jump on - and, critically, there is a cafe hidden in every corner. It was a wonderful day out - bracing, educational, lovely flowers, butterflies... and here are the pictures of this civilised and inspiring venture:

Twain12 - oh, poor you! Yes, there are advantages to being in this part of the world - I have daffs and crocuses up in the garden. Although my lawn badly needs a mow already...
