Yesterday I took Rosie and Jess into Norwich on my own, the other adults were all busy. We had lots of fun. We began at The Museum Of Norwich [at the old Bridewell prison] where there was a lovely scavenger hunt, throughout the museum, following the orange clues from one exhibit to another. Nothing to write down or scores to keep, just a fun trip - and stickers at the end.
Then we went to one of the rooms where there was a 'make a black cat' activity - well organised with card, pritt, templates, safety scissors etc. Obviously Jess needed a fair bit of help, Rosie managed virtually unaided. The other family who were round the table with us clearly enjoyed it too. I got into conversation with the Gran, who didn't realise there were benefits to having her own Museums Pass, if she was regularly bringing grandchildren to the different Museums.
Onto
Bill's for lunch. The girl's food was free [half term offer] I only paid for our drinks and my salad.
They cleared their plates, and enjoyed their desserts.
The Waterstones to look at books. I did not buy this family game. It was £13, and anyway the answer to the question is "It was probably the person who is taking Omeprazole meds for acid reflux" Jess is delightful - she enjoys 'riding' the vehicles in the Castle Mall even if nobody has put a coin in the slot to make them move!
The girls bought some Lego and an Elsa Doll. Then we came home, via Aldi, where the scary assistant, with a white painted face and black horns, dressed as Maleficent was frightening small customers. No it wasn't fun, and quite unnecessary imho.
We had a lot of laughs together. As we walked back to the CarPark, I encouraged them to speed up so we would be back before we got charged for an extra hour. Jess was still pointing out things of interest as we trotted down the street.
"Come on Jess, hurry up. We've no time for pleasantries right now" declared Big Sister. I was flabbergasted at this phrase. Has she been reading Jane Austen??
Such a joy and privilege to be with them all day. Thank you girls!
No wonder my mice are not selling. These ones are only a fiver in a certain Danish Gift shop. They are imported from China. I cannot compete...
