The trampoline arrived last week.
Well I say trampoline, but in fact what was dumped in the garden was a cardboard box the size & shape of a coffin. This was going to be a Matterhorn of a self assembly challenge & given that we had been driven to drink by a flat pack bicycle not long ago the signs weren't good. The delivery also coincided with our colleagues at GMTV issuing dire warnings about the dangers of trampolines & our children watched in awe struck silence as a menu of horrific injuries was discussed on the cheery breakfast sofa.
So you'll understand that confidence was low as we opened the box, but several hours & several shandies later we did it. Since then the weather has been anything but perfect for trampolining, but children pay no heed to the weather & will bounce in sun, wind & rain & it's worth remembering that we adults can also refuse to have our wings clipped by disappointing weather. So despite the insult of showers we should carry on regardless with childish enthusiasm & we may well find ourselves rewarded with warmer, sunnier conditions by the end of the week. I won't be able to enjoy the sun, however, as I'm booked to do a first aid course. Just in case....
See you later,
Robin.
