Wimbledon Common

We met Elsie and her parents (Klara and Shaun) at the Windmill which is located in Wimbledon Common.
 

They walked from their house whilst we drove (as we lived further away) it took both of our groups 30 mins.
 

When we arrived we discovered that the Windmill museum and stables were having an open day (like a school fate).This included a small area cordoned off which contained various stalls (displays from local businesses, pony and tractor rides and light entertainment such as local groups performing).
 

We wondered around looking at the displays before heading towards the tractors.We were too little to go for a spin but they let Elsie and me sit in the cabin of the tractors. Alex was asleep so he missed out.
 

 

Ohhhhhh, it was lots of fun sitting up there.And very high!
 

Even the old’s were allowed a turn!
 

After that we went to the pony rides.When Elsie was visiting her grandparents she was learning to ride so was very keen to go on the ponies.Unfortunately, they were only allowing over 3 year old’s to go on but Klara told a fib (that Elsie was almost 3) and they reluctantly let her on.
 

I wasn’t bothered and was happy to watch with the big boys.
 

 
 

 

We all started to get peckish so we walked 30 mins through the woods to a local pub.We had dinner inside then moved outside to the grassy area where we spent the rest of the afternoon.

 


 

There was a big tree which was lovely and shady.It was also great to play around.Even Alex had a fun time.
 

Whilst we were there we noticed that Elsie had a tick in her skin near her hair line.It didn’t seem to hurt her but Klara got it out (she was a bit worried as ticks can transmit diseases).Dad thinks Elsie might have got it from the riding helmet as neither Alex nor I had any.

Mum and dad tried to convince me that there was a Womble come to say hello.  But I know they were off collecting useful stuff.
 

On the way back to the car Alex and I feel asleep.We were sooo tired that Mum and dad transferred us straight to our beds and we slept for the rest of the night
