Thursday = Isabella Day (72)

We had the pleasure of a 'bonus' day with Isabella, in her rainbow outfit today. She gets very attached to particular items of dress. Orchard Toys provide a selection of games that are suitable for a three year old, including 'Unicorn Fun' (above), and a 'Pigs in Blankets' pairs game (below).

Our living room furniture plus a few accessories provide a good site for a den.

Note the interesting reading material!

With last week's chocolate chip biscuits nearly gone, some more supplies were needed - shortbread figures with raisins.

Strictly rationed, young lady!

After lunch and a very long phone call with computer guru Rick (see earlier posting), we visited Dunham Massey, our local National Trust property. It currently hosts lots of activities for children, just a few of which are shown below.

There's a short walking tour that encounters a hedgehog and some flowers, as well as a bee, a frog, and other skilfully woven beings.

In the Winter Garden, the Orangery houses a useful library. I think we got through at least four books.

Musical insruments were strewn around the site. Great fun.

Then we went around the Georgian house and found five stacks of suitcases and nine pineapples. A visitor's  card was duly completed and a sticker obtained. She could do that again.

Then we went home.
