A Day at the Races


It was P's uncle's 80th birthday so all his family gathered at Plumpton racecourse. The wind whistled across the field and I was grateful to find my woolly gloves still hiding in the pocket of my winter coat. I can't believe I'm still wearing it in May. It was family day so there were funfair rides to amuse the kids, P's cousin laid on a sumptuous picnic and almost everybody managed to pick at least one winner so a fun day was had by all despite the cold. My face is now feeling distinctly windburnt - might be the closest I get to a tan this year if the weather forecast is anything to go by.
Meanwhile, R stayed at home with my parents who took him to his first karate grading exam. He was so proud of himself to receive his yellow belt. This is a major achievement for a 7-year old with hemiplegia who was not guarenteed to ever walk. He only started karate a few months ago, but it has already had a positive effect on his balance and his self-confidence. We have far fewer tantrums these days anf for that I am very grateful. We love GKR!
