Snowdrops.The first bulbs to bloom in Spring.

Our mummie remembered this little Snowdrop poem from her teaching years and so yesterday after looking at the Snowdrops she taught it to us.

I like to think
That long ago,

There fell to earth
Some drops of snow,

That loved this cold
Grey World of ours,

They stayed as
Snowdrop Flowers.

There is a old saying, that when Snowdrops flower Spring can't be far behind.

New Rocking Horse arrives.

We've decided to call you, Hobbie.

I'm been chosen to have the first ride!

Gee-up then!

New games for Christmas.

Connect Four is much harder to play than you first realise as these two Trendon girls are finding out.


Pontoon is a popular card game here.


Amber's favourite card game is Patience and she is thrilled when it works out.


Jose setting up the dominoes ready to start the knock on effect....

...and down they tumble.

This early Gotz yellow eyed girl prefers the unique satisfaction of completing a jigsaw.


Ross and Belle love the challenge of Dominoes!


Anis enjoys the game of Hungry Hippos and is getting in a little extra practise in before the next game commences.
