It made me chuckle to hear how much BC enjoyed 'playing out' with you! <br /><br />As you know, when I am on my High Horse about education I bang on about just letting kids play. Play is such a crucial process for children, it requires curiosity, imagination, problem solving, experimentation- the list goes on - but the beauty of it is that there is no arm up the back forcing them to do it! All that learning because THEY WANT TO! I could continue with a tirade of how education bashes all of these natural inclinations out of young children in order to have them sat in nice quiet rows performing like parrots, but I'll refrain on this occasion. As we grow up and education has taken it's pound of flesh, we enter the adult world and play is firmly given a back seat, (if one at all), and it can all become a bit of a drudge. Adults need to play too but many of us have boxed up our inner child and haven't seen them in a long time. I think outdoor people are very good at releasing the inner child and re-creating that sense of adventure and exploration first experienced in back gardens years ago. It sounds like you both had a whale of a time!High Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466287570979256689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-56525901256521794192014-12-01T16:41:52.794+00:002014-12-01T16:41:52.794+00:00The Crow - Thanks Martha.

Of course, I can't claim to have been aware of it at the time of taking but I was quite pleased when I saw the result.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-3054304985064420882014-12-01T15:04:06.115+00:002014-12-01T15:04:06.115+00:00Wonderful photos, Conrad.
