We recently visited Dunedin with our extended family. Mima's Dad grew up there but Mima and I had never been. While we were slightly restricted by naps we really enjoyed our short visit.
One highlight was a park Mima's Dad used to go to as a child, Marlow Park Playground in St Clair Dunedin.
It is a true retro gem! While they have adding new generic playgrounds the old playground still stands. Including snake swing, boot and dinosaur slides and a whale which in summer used to spurt water (not sure if it still does), all brilliant.
Just back from our summer holiday. We spent the last couple of weeks down in Havelock North at my family home, gearing up for my little brother's wedding. We spent the days outside enjoying the sun and working hard, gardening and pruning. So I wanted something to entertain a four year old. I decided to make Moo a swing so I chose a spot under the pepper tree at the end of the lawn, where our childhood treehouse once nestled.
It's a simple wood swing. I used a plank of wood, drilled two holes each end to thread the 9mm orange rope through and painted it red (with the leftover paint from the front door).
I sadly didn't document the making of the swing, as I didn't have a camera so the only photo I have is from my phone.
