We took Emily to the May Day Gala today in the park.
Unlike last years scorching hot day today started off terrible and i thought it was going to be a day stuck in the house but the rain stopped long enough for us to go and have a nosy and im glad we did! We really enjoyed the Gala and Emily had great fun.
She had a ride on a donkey called Lucy and loved it, unlike her previous goes where it felt more like torture than a treat.
We also risked getting her face painted although i didnt expect too much, maybe a small flower on her cheek if she sat still long enough but to my suprise she sat as still as a statue and let the lady do a lovely butterfly round her eyes with added glitter.

She also got to see some birds of prey, very close up and a clown riding a tiny bike and the majorettes and a sheep dog rounding up some geese.
We then had an evening of finger painting and glueing bits of paper so all in all she had a wonderful day.
Iv just put her to bed and can still hear her on the baby monitor telling Softy her teddy bear all about it!
