A creative day

Lashing rain in the night and a damp morning but the day brightened to sunshine and warmth. Joe decided to keep Esme off from kindergarten as we hadn't seen her for nearly 5 days and it was a good decision. We've had a lovely relaxed day with colouring (she's good!), painting( gold glitter in abundance), a soggy trip to the garden plus jumping in puddles (note unicorn gummies), a trip to see the tame eels at the Anatoki salmon farm (actually a bit disconcerting all round) and an ice cream in a tub, a trip to the supermarket, a very satisfying time in the sandpit followed by some sandcastle flag making. She has been delightful and yes, she is the most remarkable granddaughter ever!! Large amounts of spaghetti finished the day.
