Today we went to Harewood to see Noddy. The characters in the photos are Sly and Gobbo, who are, it has to be said, fairly sinister looking, especially to an almost three year old. These two managed to reduce Laura to a shaking, sobbing wreck, just by her looking at them! We tried to cheer her up with a ride on the merry-go-round, but she had to be removed half way through. Dady won her a rather garish unicorn toy, which worked for a minute, but eventually she had to be carried from the scene, weeping into my shoulder, while saying "I want to go home. I don't ever, ever want to come here again".
Luckily, all was not lost. She brightened up at the mention of lunch in the cafe, a trip to the bird garden (always a favourite), and of course, the usual "..ice-cream before we go home.."
