Charming

One of Daffy's Christmas presents from Uncle Will and Aunty Beth was a Grow-Your-Own-Prince kit.
This morning, she hugged and kissed the little fella before plopping him into a glass of water, and then stood back to watch expectantly.
(I will keep you posted on his progress.)

This afternoon we had a lovely time at The Sainsbury Centre. I haven't been since the re-vamp, and it was impressive.
The entrance is quite dramatic and disorientating for country bumpkins like us - we all reeled slightly and clutched each other for support when confronted with the sudden exposure to space, height, glass walls and culture. But the girls soon came round and charged off with their clipboards and worksheets. Daffy's brief was to spot and record "Unusual eyes and ears" - a task that she embraced with uncharachteristic enthusiasm. (This is the child that sits on the settee saying "You do it" most of the time.)
