For the sake of my bank balance...

.... I hope the weather picks up a little; its been constant drizzle since Sunday.

While the weather has been fine and cold we've managed to get to the park at least once a week after playgroup/nursery - there's a little cafe by the bowling green that is partially staffed by people with learning disabilities and I think its a subsidised training facility; we usually manage to have lunch there for around £4 all in.

Yesterday, on account of the bad weather, we went to Crazy Tykes near Wetherby; the best soft play area for Jacob/Sam's age, imo. The entrance fee and our lunch set me back £22, plus petrol (it takes about 25 mins to drive each way).

It's typical in a county not known for its sparkling weather that all the indoor activities are expensive.
