Bucket and spade set this time of year?

Some friends are going to be over in the UK for Ostara to see their families and show off their new ( turns two over that weekend) daughter.

The requested birthday present from me is a bucket and spade set to replace one lost last week. I am very happy to do this, but isn't it a bit early in the year to find them in the shops?

Well, I would.

However, it's got to go into the luggage for a long-haul flight back to the Caribbean

I'm da man!

I was wrong, she is not two, but three years old and quite a lot because her birthday was months ago. This weekend's birthday was granny's. (good job I didn't get a card or wrap it)

Anyway, young lady though bucket and spades was brilliant. Four quid down Bethnal Green road buys a lot of pleasure sometimes.

I think the girls parents have a big problem with her though. She is very bright. I'm thinking special needs very bright. Her language abilities are very good. We were talking about the flight to the UK. She can point both ends of the journey out on the world map and when her aunty got a globe out she got that too.

However, she did struggle with me when I got on to Earth's position in the Terran system and Sol's location with in the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Women! She was more interested in using there new bucket as a hand bag.

You do realise you'll now have to buy her some matching shoes to go with the bucket and spade...

This kid hates shoes !

She lives on a tropical island with a big garden near the sea.

The parents are glad that she is better that her elder sister; at that age she hated clothes!
