47. Do-You-Think-He-Saw-Us (We went to Dan-yr-Ogof showcaves and dinosaur park today, just north of Swansea. The Boy was intent on trying to read the dinosaur names.)
48. The Adventures of Brush Boy & Hammer Girl (We bought The Boy a mini archaeologist digging set at Dan-yr-Ogof yesterday, he decided I'd do the hammering and he'd do the brushing, hence his names for us. )
49. Eisteddfod (St. David's Day came early to The Boy's school as 1st March falls during half-term next week.)
50. Trump-A-Saurus (We've had dinosaur themed activities this week and in one book there was a set of Top Trumps which The Boy was introduced to, he loved it.)
51. Day and Night (The Boy started to chat to me during dinner about the Earth moving around the sun and then he wanted to know how the sun set when it didn't move. Luckily with his uncle in Australia it makes it easier to explain day and night in context, so I grabbed the globe, a torch and two blobs of Blu-tack to represent us and him. The Boy was fascinated!)
52. Soaring (A sunny after school pick-up meant a trip to the park was on the cards; something we haven't really done in months. It was great to have the fresh air and blue sky, even if it was for only half an hour.)
53. Coombe Mill (This is one I hope to have added by the time this post goes live, but I might have to pop it in later. We've come away to Coombe Mill for a few days with my brother and his family, can't wait for some much-needed relaxation.)
