Soaking out a splinter

Jess is a bit of a climber but her monkey skills let her down when she fell off a fence into a bramble.

She got cuts and scratches and a couple of splinters which were difficult to get out so we sat her with her hand in a bowl of water and bicarb. Her mum soon got the splinters out and she was quite pleased to get a bandage put on it (which she didn't actually need).

Kids eh? :-)
