that's how the day looked like it was going to pan out to me this morning. And, weather wise - it was. However, in terms of unexpected enjoyment - the day was a big 'free' success.
Diggerland Devon. Has never appealed to me - how could it. It has the word 'digger' in its name. Yawn. Diggers don't do it for me. Maybe it's because I am a girl (yes, I am), or maybe because diggers are just bloody DULL and are just functional machinery, I dunno - but, for 8 year old boys - this place is Valhalla - the epitome of joy and power in their little worlds. Even though it was wet, and cold, and I froze my tits off for nearly three hours - it was worth it - because Oliver and his friend enjoyed it so much. I actually had Tesco Clubcard vouchers so it was technically free - the normal admission price is £17!!!!!! But even I must admit, I would consider coughing up for this. (Although it would piss me off to have to cough up £17 for me to get in too....)
Oliver was able to drive most things - tractors and diggers, and I guess that feeling of control for a kid must be fantastic.
Have now just about thawed out, and looking forward to a hot bath as highlight of the day.

We went here a couple of years ago with friends and everyone loved it - I was too scared to drive anything though.
We had money off vouchers from the paper, at the time it was £15 each - far too expensive1 x
