Day 86

To celebrate F's 8th birthday, today we went to visit Castell Coch near Cardiff; F's 'fairy tale castle'. I'm not sure who was more excited about this day together, me or her! We visited all the rooms, took lots of photos and videos, stood on benches we were allowed to stand on and possibly one that we weren't... We walked in the woods and F slid down the railings over and over and over again. In the middle of all that railing-sliding, we found that there was a great section of rock at the base of the castle, in what would have been the moat, just asking to be climbed on. So, even though it was at least four times taller than me, off she went. Then, off I went too. I believe she wore this top especially today; I made it for her nativity gift last December. (It's quite nice to feature something that I've actually made, not just that I'm hoping to make!)

Thank you for your company today, precious one.
