    Had a lovely morning at Swithens Farm with Emily and some friends.  The kids loved it. They got to; go on trampoline, outdoor play equipment, bouncy castle, see the animals, buy goldfish, go in playbarn and have lunch!  It was rather too much walking and talking for me, but nice to be out in fresh air and…
