'Bean and Brush' in Sale, was our first venue. Whilst Sue and I enjoyed the (coffee) 'bean' element, Isabella wrestled with a variety of 'brush'es and paints.
Eventually, after about an hour, a tree had been daubed with the requisite three layers of paint and was ready to go to the kiln. We'll discover how it turns out next week.
Then Mickey joined us for a long tram ride - a favourite occupation for Izzie, whilst I jumped off at Timperley in a bid to prepare lunch.
Then after lunch and a nap, there was a long session of washing a doll who kept being sick, and then the trusty Duplo house provided its usual endless fun. This toy in a previous generation had kept Isabella's dad and aunt entertained for hours on end, and the red and yellow car was brought back from Amsterdam after a visit by Grandma Whoosh for her 40th birthday. (Quite some time ago!)
Mum and dad will be pleased to hear that this mode of travel did not meet with universal approval, and some bribery was needed to negotiate a 'safe passage' back to Didsbury!
Meanwhile, up in the freezing north (Bacup), Kate has a new bathroom. Oscar has discovered its underfloor heating...
That's it for now.

Such good fun.
The new resident in the bathroom amused me. Perhaps the door will now have to be left open to allow comning and going, thus defeating the object of the new heating?
Oscar is the boss. He has many more warm hideaways should the bathroom door be shut!
