good one re coaches! but oh dear..has Vic lost out on the coachtrip? I might have missed the info, been away for a few days.
But yes indeed Vic and Lesley are good at jigsaws so they might like to pop down.Would be good for a photo opportunity that one.
Well done the Museum , they now have a tradition of these family fun days.

just a reminder that the event is tomorrow, with rain expected it will be better than a trip to the beach.

We were turned away twice as it was full and there were some large groups there. One was a summer school from London whose leader proceeded to help herself to a pile of colouring sheets before she left.
I've seen children scolded for taking another one.
Hardly a "family" fun day.
They wil have to change the name of these events to reflect this.
