In at the shallow end.
Have we defeated young Ecky?
She really didn't want to get up this morning. so she and Bill stayed at home whilst Ashley and I went to the Faygate boot sale.
Goodness - I can't remember what we bought!
It was drizzling by the time we left and we feared that the rest of the day would be an indoor day.
But it cleared up by noon - so off we went again to Edenbridge.
I didn't buy much at all - not for me!
Ecky now has some imitation Ugg boots.
Her Dad went all soft and bought dozens of cuddly toys made by TY.
Bill spent a small fortune on model soldiers - but he knows what he is doing. You have to speculate to accumulate!
Ecky has set up all her new Ty toys in the bedroom and I asked her to take some pictures for me to use on the blog....here are a selection.
At half past three we met Jenny, Ruth, Felix and Otto at K2 - that's the local sport's centre.
This is the only picture I could find - its a bit small really.

I do like that duck.
The duck doesn't look cute like many of the others - it looks like....well a duck!

It is many years since I have used a swimming pool - and I have not used that one at all.
I felt just a bit nervous, and I was glad that Jenny and Ruth were there to show me the ropes.
It turned out to be a real pleasure.
In my day, swimming pools were just rectangular.
We spent most of our time in the leisure and learner pools - warm and interesting. There is a fierce bubbling jacuzzi area.
The main pool can be divided into sections and the floor can be raised and lowered to provide different depths.
We did try the shallow pool and I could swim there.
It was such a pleasure to return to the leisure pool - not just for young children; I noticed that parents and grandparents were enjoying the relaxation of it. It is almost warm enough to feel like a bath!

We had a cod tagine for dinner from Cook - the up market frozen food shop and it was wonderful. Do look up their web site if you don't know about Cook.
I am too tired tonight to catch up with other episodes we have photographed in the last week; and anyway I have EBay payments to deal with.
