Friday = Isabella Day (53)

With mum on holiday, Isabella didn't need anyone other than mum and dad to look after her.

However, we turned up in Didsbury after seeing off Heather, who had been staying with us for a few days whilst she did some Peak District mountain guiding.

Isabella mistakenly and understandably expected to be whisked off to Timperley. "I want car!" But she had to get used to a walk to Fletcher Moss park. There wasn't even time to go to the Didsbury playground, as Sue explained...

Fletcher Moss has lots of this (below), and no play apparatus as that would need hard standing, and this area of Didsbury is geared to soaking up any flood water and avoiding any flooding of the nearby houses. Can you spot the moorhen?

However, we found plenty for Isabella to do in the well kept gardens, including quite a bit of running around and hide and seek.

And a bit of dancing on one of the viewing platforms.

Then Isabella needed some lunch, and we needed to go home.
