Today
was completely different – and more tiring. I went to a play place
in Portreath, called Base Camp, with my daughter and several other
people, including twelve adventurous children. (I thought it was
twelve, but I lost count.) It was a party for the birthday of my
granddaughter. She is eight years old now. The children ran all
around, and they climbed as well. There are six tall climbing walls
there – for six children at the same time, with an instructor and
safety harnesses. They had to listen carefully to instruction. After
playing there was food and a cake with eight candles.The room was
disguised as a tent (a base-camp).
