No bubble wrap here
only mud
iceblock sticks
and footprints on the car.
long
orange
ropes
curled
ready to strike!
And boards skating
myriad plastic joy….
towels on the lawn and bubbles in the sky
taps on full
in fluent wasteful race!
Here?
not much disinfectant
but rivers of tears
and bloody scabs peeled with glee!
My fleshly birds are dancing free
with smiles
that crack earth
or make it rain!
No cotton wool balls
except the kind to plug your ears
and stuff of crafty fun,
depending on the need…..
Ahh nope,
no bubble wrap here
but an occasion for
triumphant
wriggling
to the sound
of natures fecund tune!
love love LOVE this…

Whatever happened to the days when Adventure Playgrounds were the place to be and hanging upside down from a climbing frame was a moment of reflective freedom sought after with glee?

I don’t know but i think we must have missed the memo here…. My 12 yr old daughter was hanging upside down just yesterday , slapping at horseflies!!! oh i would have helped her but i was laughing soooo hard!

Brilliant! I miss the days when upside down was the perfect view of the world; when it was more relaxing than sitting or lying down :).
