Just the two of us - a quiet Friday afternoon at Sanderstead Recreation Ground

I've been a bit behind on my posting this last week or so, what with my older daughter having just broken up for her school holidays so please bear with me as I try to catch up a bit!

Last Friday was my older daughter's last day at school and she went to a friend's house after school finished so it was a rare opportunity for the two year-old and I to go on a post-nap excursion which wouldn't be cut short by the school run.

She opted, as she does every time when given the choice, for the park and we chose Sanderstead Recreation Ground as she fancied a bit of a scoot.

She got her scooter at Easter and has come on remarkably well since then for a two year-old (in my unbiased opinion, of course).  Sanderstead Rec has a lovely little scooting/skating circuit which is just right for her and she had a great time "zooming" around.

We then headed over to the play area which was all but deserted.  We savoured the peace and calm for a bit until all the big kids from school arrived.  In a few days, of course there won't be any of these quiet times to enjoy for a few weeks, so it was really a nice time, just the two of us.
