At last the sun has decided to put in an appearance. It’s been a long time coming but it is fantastic that finally it has returned.
The winter has been very severe this year and it seems to have dragged on forever.
Personally speaking I feel so much more alive when the sun is shining and I just feel happier.
For some reason as you grow older the weather seems to be more important than when you were a child.
In my youth it really didn’t bother me to go outside during the cold weather, but nowadays during the winter I won’t step outside of my front door without a minimum of 3 layers of clothes on.
Those freezing cold mornings when you have to venture outside just to de-ice the car are terrible.My family seem to take great pleasure in nicknaming me Rudolph during the winter months due to the fact that my nose is always red and glowing!
My children on the other hand don’t seem to care about the weather. Even during the winter months they pester me to pay a visit to our local park.It really is a fantastic park and is so much better than the usual run of the mill dried out grass and broken swings you usually get in local parks. As well as all the usual play equipment it also boasts a fantastic boating pond, a brilliant old steam train that travels around the whole park and numerous outdoor activities to keep the children entertained. They enjoy themselves on the trampolines whether it’s pouring with rain or blazing sunshine.
During the winter months the park has had a total makeover and they have replaced some of the smaller 10ft trampoline and instead have installed bigger 12ft trampolines.
Usually during the summer we seem to end up at the park every weekend.It’s brilliant because whilst the children are wearing themselves out around the park, I get to sit out in the sunshine and take it easy – fantastic
