We continued our explorations of the "local" area this week.
On Wednesday we had a great day out in Market Harborough. Its a little market town in the South of Leicestershire, a beautiful town with lots of tiny "arty" type shops.
Thursday we went to Western Park in Leicester. We hadn't been for many years, not since BA ran in races with his primary school there. It was another little treasure that we had forgotten about. The play area is great and there's plenty to do. LA stood up for her rights to use the slide in the face of 2 very bossy little girls (who must have been at least 6 and they must have seemed "big" to her) who told her that she was too small to use the slide. "I'm not small, I'm big" she told them. Unfortunately they were determined not to let her play and took to blocking her way, so we had to put them right! It was good to see LA standing up to them though.
From the park we went on to the EcoHouse. We had been meaning to visit for many years, but it was one of those things we had never got round to. It was very interesting and we have come away with some ideas on how to make our lifestyle even more green than it already is.
And today, we've been working in the garden. Tomorrow, unfortunately I have to go back to work...
