Even the chore of the school run is fun when Dilly Dally is around, although I would definitely be a little worried if it was the blades of grass you decided to count tomorrow morning lol, enjoyed! cheers David

Haha yep I can see where the little one gets it from, she was probably just trying to procrastinate the new school week, :)

My little one did say "let's count grass too" and I redirected to being powered along by each new flower and having to rush along the gaps in-between so we didn't run out of energy :) I'm all out of ideas for new vehicles we can be every 5 metres, so I hope this idea will run awhile. Thanks for stopping by, always a pleasure :)

Thank you Paul, as I was out walking the dog the other day I recalled the people who first advised me of the names of each flower and it felt quite transcending of time and space as if a little part of that interaction crossed into the present. Plus there are ways to get children to rush that really don't need shouting. We spotted 100 flowers on our side of the street alone :)
