It’s been a great few days for a holiday.

Today was a great day out at Scotney Castle where we followed and Easter egg hunt. AS we were wandering around I was amazed at the artistic knowledge of my children.

On our trip we came across this beautiful sculpture and immediately Tom and Beth said ‘That’s a Henry Moore sculpture’. Sarah and I looked at each other in amazement – was it? Well, the website agrees with my kids – so where did that great bit of information and recognition come from?

Being a parent is flipping hard work, but its always great and quite often you just get amazing insights into what they are learning and growing with each day. Hey … I was proud the other day with swimming badges and stuff – today I am proud because my kids recognise who sculpted a fine piece of art.

Other highlights of the few days have been buyng a new bike with Tom, spending Easter Day with Andrew and Sarah … and experiencing my son genuinely beating me at pool. I really tried, and he really won – that does not help with the feelings of realisation associated with the fast approaching 40!!
