Hi Wez

Don't worry about forgetting me. I don't always post on other people's threads as much as I want to because I have been somewhat stressed the last few months.

I didn't kill any men, although I've got to admit, the first person I thought of when you said that was my X, only I really can't imagine him in tights

We went at 10am and I got the usual bout of nausea despite it only being a 45 minute journey. Thankfully we got there before I had turned as green as Robin Hood's hat.

We went and saw the rabbits and guinea pigs and chickens, but DD4 wasn't terribly impressed with them so we saw some goats and sheep which she liked better, and she even fed them out of her hand and wasn't scared. I took loads of photos.

There was this mother pig with about 10 babies all running around everywhere, playing and chasing each other. They reminded me of how human children behave! Then they wanted to suckle from the mother pig so DD4 piped up

'Mummy, those baby piggies are having boobie!'

(I have only just stopped breast feeding DD4 after just over 3 years so she still remembers ).

I told her that animals feed their babies the same way people do.

We went in the children's playground and she had a go on the slides and stuff, and we had a ride on a train on the 'Loxley Line' (Robin Hood's actual title was Robin of Loxley) - she was a bit nervous of the train because of the noise it made.

Then we had lunch in the cafe and walked for miles around woods and fields, being followed by sheep who were actually almost tame and kept nuzzling at DD4.

We finished off the day with her jumping around on a 'bouncy castle' with millions of other kids and she bawled her head off on the way out because she didn't want to go home.

She fell asleep in the bus on the way back because she was so wiped out, and luckily for me, I didn't get motion sickness on the return journey!

I am now tired but DD4 is still up because of falling asleep earlier - haven't even done any housework at all.

Jo.
