Playground

in local park. I am minding my grandchild for 2 days this week as it is mid-term break in Ireland.

This is the climbing frame and you can see an anxious mum whose child is at the top.

'Can I climb that too?' the little sweet voice asked me. 'No way' I said (not mentioning that both her father and her aunty would have been up it like a shot).

Minding grand-children is good fun. We have been out and about all day and she is great to chat. She is a fluent Irish speaker as she attends the gaelscoil. She is also full of energy - it's just 3pm now and I need a rest. We are heading home to watch 'Hocus Pocus' and to have her favourite food.

Bank Holiday here and weather good for end October
