Even as a teenager I did not foresee my future as involving children. Coincidentally none of my friends have children either. At the moment I am feeling the lack of temporary access to children.
They would have to be the right type of children of course - interested in the outdoors and nature and crafts.
I've just got "Learning with nature" with lots of outdoor things to make or do. Some are bit outdoor-classroom-ish but many would be fun to do but I couldn't see myself doing as a adult on my own where I might be seen. I would be far too self-conscious!
Some would be possible with some other interested adults, especially some of the games, but I've got the wrong type of friends!
There are a few things I could do myself in the garden, and I plan to have a go at these.
I got a book last year on things to make outdoors and I saved various plastic containers to make snow castles and ice bricks, and feathers and acorns to make little snow birds - and London didn't have any snow! Fingers crossed for the coming year!
Snowy weather is great (as long as I am not trying to get anywhere) as it is a time when adults are allowed to be like children again.
