This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for months! I had completely forgotten about it. As summer has finally arrived (I hope I’m not speaking too soon!) Bob and I have been visiting our playground again. This is what reminded me that I had never published this post.
It was lovely to see how much more enjoyment Bob got out of the park, now that she is older. I took some lovely photos and I thought that I would share them at the same time at as this post. I can’t believe how much she has grown!
Original Post
We live in a tiny village. In fact I don’t think you can call it a village, as there isn’t a pub or a shop, it’s more of a hamlet. Don’t worry; we are walking distance to the next village where there is a pub!
We have a little playground but, as there are only a few children here, it has been neglected. That was until recently. In the past few weeks it has had a makeover! Bob and I went to visit it the other day and it’s fab! They have cleaned up the old rides, added some new ones and put squishy matting on the floor. They must have heard that I am accident-prone!
As the few children that do live here are at school, in the week, it is like we have our own private playground!
New Photographs
Bob had a fantastic time at the park today! Now that she is walking she is much more confident! Soft play has also helped with this. She would happily hurtle herself down a slide head first if I wasn’t there to stop her! I was worried that I might have over estimated her confidence today. I sat her at the top of the slide and allowed her to go down it unaided. She went so fast she flew off the end and landed with a bump. Worried that I had put her off for life, I rushed over too her. Bob jumped up, ran over to the slide and shouted ‘That, that, that!’ She loved it and wanted to slide again and again!
I wish that I had taken my camera, as this would have made a fabulous moving picture! Unfortunately I only had my phone with me, which won’t take shots as quickly.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine!!! x

My Lovely likkle knuckle head ……… I have smiled at the pictures :0) hahaha x
Isn’t a knuckle head somebody like Grant Mitchell? x
What a difference a few months makes when they are young! She has grown so much since the first photos. Your hamlet sounds delightful and how lucky to have that playground and almost to yourself! Thank you for joining me on Country Kids
Gorgeous photos. And it is amazing how much their enjoyment of playgrounds gets bigger; we used to be all about the swings and not a lot else but now a visit to the park is a proper adventure. X
I love it! It’s great how much more they can do! x
Oh the joy of the park!
We’re really lucky to have numerous Parks within walking distance, all recently upgraded by Trafford Council (no wonder they’re claiming poverty!?)
Lovely photos, now which park shall we go to today 🙂
Such a lovely post! Really nice to see how much Bob has changed in a few months! Gorgeous photos- you really do take gorgeous photos x
Thank you! You are too kind! x
Oh you beat me to it…I was going to link up to Fun photo fun with fun in the park…it really does show how much they grow up as they enjoy going to the park more and more…we have a park close by as well and he never gets bored of it! These are great photos…I can hear the squeals as she goes down the slide 🙂
I am hoping I get back to the park with my camera if the weather continues as I need to make this into a moving photo! Thought that could be my Fun Photo Fun for this week. Still link up. You can never have too many trips to the park!!! x

Good plan. Going to venture to the next village tomorrow as apparently there’s a fab playground there. Will report back! :0) x
