We were caught in the rain this morning without a coat or an umbrella so we bought a magic new one! When the rain hits the white drops they change to all the colours of the rainbow. When the Live-Wires had their bath tonight, we put it under the shower much to their delight.
Another of the benches in the school playground shows “The Enormous Crocodile” by Roald Dahl, a perennial favourite. I’ve just been told that these amazing benches (see yesterday’s post) have been painted by one of the Teaching Assistants. How brilliant is that!
It was J’s turn for a treat after school today so we went back to the Joie de Vie cafe where they play French music and speak to some customers in French as to J, “Bon appetite, Monsieur,” as he was served his chocolate brownie. J’s “Au revoir,” as we left, brought huge smiles to the faces behind the counter.

Those benches are like the ones in London a year ago. Love them.

Didn’t realise there had been others in the city. Sorry we haven’t been able to arrange to meet up – on family duty almost all the time. Your next visit to Cornwall to the Eden project?

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for the links, lovely to see. I wonder if the school bought these at the auction and then painted them appropriately. 🙂
