At last, we have sunshine.It seems to have taken forever to arrive, but it’s fantastic now it’s finally returned.

We have had a harsh winter and it does seem to have dragged on longer than normal. 

Personally speaking I feel so much more alive when the sun is shining and I just feel happier.

For some reason as you grow older the weather seems to be more important than when you were a child.

I will admit that when I was younger it didn’t bother me to be outdoors in the freezing cold, but nowadays during the winter I need at least 3 layers on before I step out of my front door and even then  I hate going out in the cold.

Those freezing mornings having to go outside just to de-ice the car are an absolute nightmare.  My family call me Rudolph during the winter months as my nose is always red and glowing!

My children on the other hand don’t seem to care about the weather.  Even during the winter months they pester me to pay a visit to our local park.It really is a fantastic park and is so much better than the usual run of the mill dried out grass and broken swings you usually get in local parks.  As well as all the usual play equipment it  also boasts a fantastic boating pond, a brilliant old steam train that travels around the whole park and numerous outdoor activities to keep the children entertained.  They enjoy themselves on the trampolines whether it’s pouring with rain or blazing sunshine.

During the winter months the park has had a total makeover and they have replaced some of the smaller 10ft trampoline and instead have installed bigger 12ft trampoline.

Usually during the summer we seem to end up at the park every weekend.It’s brilliant because whilst the children are wearing themselves out around the park, I get to sit out in the sunshine and take it easy – fantastic
