I’ve had a poorly little Jessica at home today so instead of getting out and about for our wild activities, we’ve focused on an indoor activity. During our day out at Legoland yesterday, Sophie collected some large leaves. These have been perfect for today’s activity – making leaf monsters. This is a lovely… Read More
Legoland is one of the girls’ favourite places. Before Jessica started school, we made the most of term-time days out thanks to the preschool pass. Our visits are much more infrequent now.
