A Plataypus is like a 4 year old!

Never ever argue with a Platypus ...

Why I hear you cry ...


Well its because they have poisonous claws .


Platypus make as much sense as 4 year olds except they are not poisonous they are just odd like a Platypus.Take for example my conversation this week finding a child holding a wet paper to his head I enquired :


"Are you hurt"

Nodding "Yes , yes ..sniff drawing up a dangly green bogey.

Where I asked.


"My feelings , my feelings are hurt" he sobbed.

He wasn't hurt physically someone had just hurt his feelings bless him...


I also caught some 4 year olds colouring each other teeth green and that is why a Playapus is like a 4 year old they make no sense half the time!

The Garden Games Giant Tower review

The Garden Games Giant Tower is a Giant version of the already popular Jenga Game by Leslie Scott, Containing 58 pine blocks from renewable resources, this giant version does really stand out from the crowd. With an average build height of 2.5m you will be kept entertained for hours.

The aim of the game is to build the tower as high as possible without letting it fall, you could even use it for team building to see who's tower lasts the longest and builds the highest, perfect for any party, work event or BBQ.

The Garden Games Giant Tower sits between our very popular Garden Games Hi-Tower and the Mega Hi-Tower and is supplied in a box that the game can be stored in when not in use. The pine blocks have a superior finish giving the game a real quality feel and they have the Garden Games logos as a stamp of quality assurance.







So even though summer is over you can play this inside if you have the space. Its ideal for schools,Rainbows,Brownies Scouts and other organisations to use. It brings people together to have a lot of fun!





( Diclosure I was given a set of this to review in the summer but unfortunately my son broke his finger and was un able to test it, now he's better I am going to get his rugby club to test it)

Remberance Day Sorrows

Not sure who's reading this but here I go !.Both my grandparents were in the war one Grandad was a RAF engineer, the other was a GPO engineer who did secret work for Winston Churchill amongst others. My GPO grandad was involved with things at Bletchley Park , worked in the cabinet war rooms and other secret underground tunnels around London. He never really did say what went on because of the official secrets act and even when he could say things he didn't , he was old school. I never really blog too much about my family history not sure who'd want to read it anyway. All I know that without people like my grandparents the world would not have been such a safe place to live in.

Another sad family fact was that the GPO grandad grew up without a dad his dad had been in the Great war and it really affected him. For years I had been lead to believe he had died of a burst appendix, one of those family secrets that rattled around. But when my Nan died she told me that My GPO Grandad dad had hung himself in a church, how sad. Without the scarifices of all these brave men , women etc We would not have the world in which we live today. It may not be perfect but it really could have been so different.
