Bike to Gardens

I looked after Wendy this morning while her parents were discussing their housing issues with the Council. She was in such a sweet mood. I suggested we take her Bike to the Gardens, and she was keen, so we went. Brak came with us of course, but so did Madam Spikkeldy. She never lets us go up there unsupervised!

Wendy thoroughly enjoyed having the freedom of a wide open space to ride in.



She had a lot of fun. She was interested in the flowers and she first stopped to admire son daffodils and we talked about them. Then she found some daisies and we talked about those too. She knows that they are both flowers, but I was really impressed when I told her to find some Daffodils - and she did. Then I told her to find some Daisies - and she did! I let her stand in the low branches of a tree and she enjoyed that too.

She pretended to say goodbye and was joking about going off on her own. She is such a character!


She had a huge amount of fun.

She is talking a lot more than she did. She was happy to say 'goodbye' to her parents and I asked her to help me unload the washing machine. She brought the wet laundry to me item by item to hang up and every time she did, she said "help more!" and I thanked her of course. She is very good about her "please" and "thank you's" and she is a sweet natured little imp. Sounds like a paradox? It probably is!
