Our lovely postman Andrew visited us this morning on his day off from Royal Mail.
He put on quite a show for the children, they joined in with some role play, sorting the letters and parcels, chasing him with dogs and cats and delivering the mail to our playhouses.
There was even a giant letter for the giant at the beanstalk.
He then showed them all the different clothing needed for different seasons and weather.
Look out for a special letter coming to your home from your child 😀
He certainly was ‘The Jolly Postman”
Thank you so much for visiting, the children loved it 🥰

Good morning,
We have a big play house in the garden that we want to move slightly to make a builders yard next to it.
Is anyone available next week to help us move and rebalance it?
It’s heavy so need a few strong helpers 💪💪
