The Sensory Playground: May 2009
http://afterthecycle.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 May 2009. Some of the outside spaces are defiantly ugly and utilitarian and the aim of this project is to bring life and soul to these places. There is no doubt that environment has a huge role to play in stimulating imagination, on learning, on the very experience of life, particularly in young children so our aim is to provide a space that will grow and change organically.

The Sensory Playground: June 2010
http://afterthecycle.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 8 June 2010. Since my last post we have been working hard on the playground and have now added a soft play area (our most costly single item at around £3,000), which has made a fantastic difference to the children's play. We have also added a trampoline, balancing pole, safety fencing and seating areas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Artist, Writer and Gallery owner. View my complete profile.

The Sensory Playground: January 2011
http://afterthecycle.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 January 2011. I Should Thay Tho! Bitterly cold ride today. 20mls at a sedate 17.5mph. Back through Skelton on Ure and the pain of thawing feet out in a hot bath. Sitting at my desk I'm glad to be home with a hot coffee, but where are the biscuits? Tuesday, 18 January 2011. Anyway - very dissapointing! Oh, and Hi to Lynne who I met on the road today (literally! Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. Sunday, 16 January 2011. New Year, New Bike, New Me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Darlingt...

The Sensory Playground: Another New Me
http://afterthecycle.blogspot.com/2011/01/another-new-me.html
Tuesday, 18 January 2011. The past couple of days of fine weather have seen me haring round the countryside trying to dislodge some of the accumulated Christmas blubber, but to no avail. You'd think after two whole days I'd be able to see a difference wouldn't you? Anyway - very dissapointing! Oh, and Hi to Lynne who I met on the road today (literally! Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. 19 January 2011 at 12:12. Somehow I suspect that this picture is not really you! Take care on those roads.

The Sensory Playground: June 2009
http://afterthecycle.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 June 2009. We may not have quite finished but the kids are playing on the slide already! The sense of achievement that I'd expected when I completed the ride and didn't get has been realised now that the children are actually benefiting from the effort. Wednesday, 10 June 2009. Joe and Kieran Crack On. We had another visit from the Infantry Training Centre. Motivated so thanks again guys. Joe and Kieran assembling the double swing. C'mon lads, you can't play in there, There's work to do.
