I turned 40 last week. I have to say I was less upset at the prospect than when I turned 30. To mark this auspicious occasion we all went on a family trip to Center Parcs in Suffolk. It was a great weekend. We hired two bikes and a trailer. It was great fun to pootle along roads devoid of cars surrounded by the calming influence of the forest.
Jake was a little poppet. We arranged 3 hours of activities on Saturday for him at the Bumblebee club while we went to the World of Spa. We were a little worried that he would be upset at the prospect of us leaving, but he loved it. In fact he spent most of the weekend talking about it :-).
In the main village square there is a large fountain which Jake referred to as ‘ the popping water’. Every time we went there we would say “is it the popping water? I think so!!” in a dramatic voice. Then Jake would copy this by saying “I think so!” which was very cute.
Next time we shall have to bring our own bikes, as the bike hire is quite expensive. Also my bike was rather knackered although Amy had a spanking single speed tourer.
