Steering lesson

I mentioned at reference 1 acquiring a new-to-me talking toy called an Upsy Daisy, which I now know to be one of the stars of a long running television programme.

Then today, a kind neighbour donated, quite by chance, an Upsy Daisy push along tricycle.

So it being warm and bright, with lots of dustbins still out on the pavement from the day's collection, it was clearly a good day for a steering lesson, with this snap taken about half way through. By the end of the lesson, we felt that our trainee understood steering fairly well, but was very easily distracted. Which meant that one needed to be ready for pole action.

Notice the attached Upsy Daisy up front. A foot of the rather larger, detached Upsy Daisy can just be seen in the pink plastic basket behind.

We closed the day with a bug hunt. Starting with the small compost bin (the brick one) at the end of the garden and then working our way through the various stones and flower pots on the way back to the house. Along the way we found the digging sticks noticed towards the end of reference 2, much better for bug hunting that half rotten twigs.
