Yesterday was our 44 birthday, the Centre opened on May 25th forty four years ago, what an amazing thought. The cost to get in was 2/6d for adults and 1/3d for children, for those of you who never knew our proper money that was 12.5p for adults and just over 6p for children!! However petrol was 5/6 a gallon, which is 27p and Father bought the house and land for £11400!! How things have changed.
Various people reminded me about it, and its not that I forget things are going to happen, its just that I never know what the date is on any given day, that is the downside of living where you work and working seven days a week. However the upside is that I rarely have to go out in the car! I managed to do it yesterday, to
get to the Bank, get dog food for while I am away as a couple of friends are kindly going to look after the house and dogs, and importantly get some champagne to celebrate the Centre's birthday, which we did in fine style after work.
The adventure trail in the wood is coming on nicely, I think it will be fun for the older children and yesterday we had two school parties so I was able to see that the trail near the flying ground also works well. The children liked it and it made them physically work hard, so it is not only fun, but also good for them!
We have to get on with all the insulation of the Hawk Walk in the next couple of months, I want to get that sorted and the heating in well before the winter comes, I don't want to have to struggle with that sort of cold again and have to worry about the birds. We are pretty sure that we can make them very much more comfortable and make it easier for us as well.
The pictures are of Mozart, when he was a young man in the snow, and in the last couple of weeks. He is amazing, he is now in his late thirties, it would be so nice if he made it to our 50 anniversary!!
