Baby Driver
Diggerland, Rochester, August 2013
Milo is eight today! He has pronounced this the best birthday ever after a champion's breakfast consisting mainly of freshly baked chocolate brownies, preceded by present unwrapping. Milo has been taking a real interest in photography, and often comes out with me on blipping trips - so he was delighted to open a Pentax WG-10 waterproof, dustproof and shockproof camera today. It even has red go-faster stripes - my Fuji is clearly inferior for its lack of these! We speculated as to whether the camera was also Dashproof but decided it was safer not to put this to the test. Milo had a wonderful day out at Diggerland, in Strood, near Rochester. If you've not been, and have young boys, you really should - even Gabriel got to drive a real JCB, on his own, aged six! Dash had fun too, and although he was too little to drive a digger on his own, there was an old military truck to climb around in. I took this picture of him on my trusty little Canon S95 compact camera.
Diggerland is an amazing place to visit with your family, with plenty of great activities and the kids get to drive real diggers - it doesn’t get better than that when you are eight! Access is easy from the M2 in Kent, take the Junction 2 exit towards Rochester and it is only a short drive from the motorway.
