Diana Memorials

Ahoy me hearties and god rest her soul! Not two things that usually to together.
But here in the Diana memorial playground they go together fine. OK; I get the “god rest her soul” what about “Ahoy me hearties”? the playground is themed on Peter Pan, pirate ship, tree walk, tee pees you get the idea.
I take it all three Buggies immediately ran off in all directions true, but the playground is fully enclosed with a man on the gate right by the coffee shop.
What did they make of it? My only attempt at showing them Peter Pan resulted in them refusing to watch anything as soon as a pirate appeared so they didn't really get the reference; that said they had lots of fun in the sand pit making a desert island and lots of fun on general climbing frames and slides and things.

How about the other more famous Diana memorial Sadly Mr Health and Mrs Safety beat us to it. not allowed to drink the water?
actually, I think that is the only thing you are allowed to do, or at least the only thing they didn't tell us about. So what can't you do? all the fun stuff; splashing, running in the water, walking in the water, running near the water, walking next to the water But... on the plus side, it is actually worth a visit and standing in the water was allowed.


What did the pirate say when his leg got stuck in the freezer? Shiver me timbers!
