This went really well, my only regret is not getting someone to take a photo of Nick and myself doing the Puppet show, Nick wrote the script - let's say it was a combination of Posh and Becks and a water pistol.
As you see we had the full quota of children - we even had to turn some away asking them to come back next week. It was completely different at first, we had one Mum and son turn up as they had booked and everybody else seemed to be in ignorance of us, sitting there eating their picnic or pushing their children on the swing. Many had come to go on the big inflatables,
I said to Nick " What if no-one wants to join in, what do we do?"
My daughter Claire had the bright idea of giving out leaflets and telling them about the Puppet show, this worked, suddenly we had loads of interest - well done Claire!
Nick has sort of made this into a mini-career since I first wrote about the event on here, last week he did four Puppet workshops in two local schools, and he really enjoyed them.
I promise I'll get photo's of the Puppet show next week, so if you missed out this time try to get down to Northlands Park at 1.00 next Monday.
