Today we caught the bus into the town centre to meet up with some of our home ed friends. We arranged to meet in the Winter Gardens which is just an amazing space. We are so lucky to have so many areas to explore in the city centre. The children had a fab time playing hide and seek.

We then walked through the galleries and found a gem of a small garden, where the girls found different coloured glass and climbed trees.

Carrying on we walked down to the station, and looked at the mosaic fountain and the children watched their leaves sail to the bottom spiral.
There are some amazing water features all the way to the station. The children had a great time chasing and throwing coins in the water to make wishes. Once we had met Carol's brother we had a picnic and Carol read the children a story.

After lunch, we said our goodbyes and headed off to Ponds Forge to go swimming. Jasmin played being a dolphin in the lazy river and swam a length of breaststroke really strongly. She was very pleased with herself.
Back home for a well deserved rest before Choir tonight.xxx
