I don’t -

But mainly that’s because we never speak! :o)

I shouldn’t worry - almost everyone does it, sometimes…

Am I guilty of this? If so I am sorry and will try to change so that conversation can flow.

You are doing the right things, just keep going, you will get there eventually - provided you don’t give up.

Love Dad.

How sad, and I can understand your annoyance. But don’t give up. I think this is a situation were gentle perseverance will pay off. She will learn to enjoy the water again even if she is not as adventurous. Did you ever hear from the Council about your complaint?

I have to say given how we did break all the rules, I was pleasantly surprised at how not overwhelmed by crowds I felt. It was much more the place, and what people where doing that did it.

I just didn’t feel part of it all, somehow detached like I was watching some BBC4 documentary - with quite voice over man.

(Not that I had the faintest idea that Man Utd were playing at home. Not living near the ground, or caring about the score, I don’t tend to keep tabs on these things…)

Hmmm. I think we broke all of those rules, except 2 - coming along the M62, we had the benefit of those big electric signs, which sent us the long way round - onto the M602, and through Eccles. It seemed like a dogleg, but we didn’t have much trouble getting into a car park, or finding a space. We broke rule 5, but we went to the opposite extreme - we arrived at about 3pm, when the worst of the crush was starting to leave, hence the parking was opening up, and the restaurant (La Tasca) had a whole empty section at the back.

The kids haven’t done tapas before, but even the olive bread seemed to be a hit, and Daisy turns out to love king prawns - who knew?!
