Apparent Success

 We slept well and had a lazy breakfast. We heard from Urban-cub. Ellie had gone to bed without any issues, slept through, and, on retrieval of the Urban-cub's iPad, went back to her own bed. This sounds like a resounding success. Let's just hope that it is maintained.

Ellie was dropped off with us at lunchtime and will be staying overnight. She was very chirpy and happy playing on her Kindle and her Leapfrog (an educational computer). After some lunch, and to give the Silver Vixen some respite, the Gorse Fox took Ellie to the park. 


We started at the par by the school. It's called the Village Green, but we refer to it as Barton's Park (as it is next to Barton's School). Having exhausted the apparatus there, we then went down to play on the carved tractor.

That didn't last long. The next stop was Lethaby Park where she bumped into a friend, Dylan, from Dizzy Duckling. She played with Dylan and his brother Oliver for ages while the Gorse Fox chatted to their mother.

Eventually, it was time to head back. Ellie was getting a little flushed in the heat and though the Gorse Fox had water with him, it would make more sense to back to the cool house.

The rest of the day has been quiet. Ellie is just getting ready for her bath and bed.

The weather is on the turn and we expect some heavy rain overnight.
