Today was one of those days that PiT was created for. Twenty young people and fifteen of their carers went to the fabulous Thames Valley Adventure Playground in Taplow in Berkshire to run, jump, climb and, yes, paint in the spring sunshine.
They have a fabulous new extension going out over the water that vastly increases the indoor space, improving the experience for users no end.
So I chatted with parents, watched over my children and felt at peace with the world, not least because my eldest boy was perfectly content to be there. A rare occurance indeed.
Thanks to the parishioners of Our Lady of Grace and St Edward's and other residents of Chiswick for their efforts at the 2008 summer fair which made today's trip possible. Everybody who went wants to go again.
Of course the long-term ambition must be to find a way of duplicating this closer to home, but I'll leave those thoughts for another day.
