Grand Day Out

Take 15 three to seven year olds, 7 adults, 2 cars, a minibus, plenty of chocolate spread, cheese & ham and tuna sandwiches, add the constant threat of a downpour, and you have the makings of a Kidz Klub outing to Jesmond Dene...

The children all had a brilliant time, with highlights being

• the pot bellied pig (would he ever stop eating?)
• the goat with the long grey beard (from now on to be know as 'Jim')
• the beautiful display from the peacock (we're sure he was after Shelagh!)
• the Newfoundland dogs spotted by one of the girls (just how much drool can one dog produce?)
• duck duck goose (Mrs D has the bruises to prove it!)
• playing at the park in the rain (just why did the girls decide to sit down in the puddle?)

We'll have to do it all again soon!
