Quick post. On Sunday, we took the kids in the morning to Castle Park. They loved it. There is a new playground at the bottom of the area where the original one still stands. Arriving there early in the morning (thanks to Sally) there were hardly any people there. My son and I spent some time together once I had been helping my daughter on some of the things there. He even ran to the old playground where he got to go on the really high slide.
Later in the day, we got the bikes that my father-in-law had bought for the kids. And they loved it. Both are really keen to bike and were willing to spend ages riding up and down the road. Of course, at the moment they need stabilisers. But they do not care!
