I think that Children naturally display a freedom of spirit. Unburdened yet with the responsibilities of adulthood and retaining unrepressed imaginations, Children will turn anything into an opportunity. A cardboard box becomes a pirate ship: A biscuit tin, a treasure chest. The advent of electronic games has not taken this away – the batteries run out and normal service is resumed.
Picture a puddle; a large puddle. An adult will skirt around it or tread carefully through it but a child – even one who hasn’t seen ‘Singing in the Rain’ – will dance in it like a miniature Gene Kelly…
…Which leads me to comment that “There’s always something to do at Kew” even if it’s dancing in puddles outside the restaurant!
