Empty Handed

Wow, what a fantastic spring day! I’ve been on holiday today, and so we took the kids out and up to Docker Park Farm to see the lambs and that. Now, Docker Park is no Folly Farm, a visitor centre so good we went not once but twice in our only-one-week family holiday to Saundersfoot last year, and are returning again this year with Folly being one of the key factors in our decision to go back to the same place two years on the trot (oh, and the fishing lake, of course), but in the end we spent a good 3 hours or so there this afternoon enjoying the sunshine and playing with the kids, who enjoyed it very much, so we shouldn’t complain. It is a bit crap and small though. Oops, sorry, I said we shouldn’t complain. Toby fed the lambs, petted the rabbits and chicks and says he liked the pigs most of all. William terrorised the ducks and chickens and was fascinated by the geese. The other bonus today was that we were more or less the only people there later in the afternoon.

What a difference the clocks going forward makes, especially when the sun shines for us. I know I’ve been off work, but even so, I feel so much happier and more relaxed with the ‘extra’ daylight. Soon it’ll be golf and even fishing in the evenings after work, family commitments allowing. Luverly! I’ve promised myself I’ll make the most of the summer evenings this year, particulary since they don’t seem to last that long before the buggers start drawing in again, and I’d forgotten how miserable the cold and dark winter evenings really are.
