A bold welcome to even more new followers! You must all be very honoured.
Today the parents were feeling a little blank and vacant so we left Jof to stay in bed and walked to Bens' house to pick up the car. On the way we could not help but stop off in swingpark (several minutes on the hanging basket) and ditto in a deserted Yellow Plum Park for some climbing action. At Bens, we tried to re-destroy the garden and house while the olds sipped coffee delicately. In the end we were too loud so headed off to todays' new park.
Hawthorn Crescent kiddie play area is a medium-sized park right by the railway in Cosham. In fact when the London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour via Basingstoke passed by, we could practically have hit it with wood chips from the park, but that kind of thing is frowned on.
The swingpark is older (1994) so the climbing constructions are differently accented. There are 2 swinging baskets, a quadruple bridge frame with chain links, 2 wider than average slides and a basketball court. I recommend it but it's not easy to get to. From there we walked nearly up to the motorway (tunnel under it to the footbridge over the moat) and found a metal girder footbridge that goes over the railway to the Railway Triangle industrial estate. The driver of the Cardiff Sprinter waved to us which was nice. There are some cottages in the railway triangle, isolated and noisy stuck between 2 railways and a motorway.
After shopping and lunch, I beat Jof at Monopoly while he ran. Then Jof wanted us to do a family activity (she chose crazy golf on the seafront by the D-Day museum) which is a laudable enterprise but one doomed to failure as usual. We didn't make it out of the house until gone 530 so were there just in time to witness the golf man collect up all the flags and lock the door.
Then we tried the D-Day museum (closed 40 minutes ago) and Henery the 8ths' castle (closed 47 minutes ago) so said poo to this and ran round the moat anyway. I finally made it over the triangular bomb-proof cover over the tunnel. Once we'd emerged, it rained on us. It was bad enough being frozen by the brisk wind but that was the cue for a sprint finish to the day and a gigantic rainbow on the way home. Lucky for me I'm meeting up with Ben tomorrow, otherwise I'd die of boredom.

This is brilliant! Hilarious. I wish I was a kid, or had a kid, or was a kid with another kid. Just know that drew in San Antonio Texas is a committed follower now!
