Saturday 5th November 2022 We had a wonderful time exploring different lands and baking a marvellous cake this week! Interestingly, apart from meeting the usual Funky Chicken, we also met a Dancing Dog, a Singing Snake and an Annoying Ant! Hope we meet them again! Then we flew up high into the sky hanging on tightly to our balloons and we spied with our telescopes a beautiful lake and a ship and on the ship there were people dancing a jig! We danced too and had great fun! We flew further and further across the globe with our second balloon and ended up hovering high above The Pyramids. Emmanuel told us that inside the Pyramids there was a house with mummified remains. It also turned out that Tutenkhamun was there! It looked like there was lots of gold! Then Andre spied, The Enchanted forest that Gabby had mentioned earlier. Gabby told us she saw Giant Magical Bunnies, so we flew down to have a look. They were indeed huge and white and soft and fluffy. They started to eat carrots and when they munched a piece of carrot, they started to shrink until they got so small we could put them on our laps and cuddle them. We really enjoyed stroking those bunnies and even when we went back to get our balloons, Gabby still had her tiny [...]

Saturday 29th October 2022 Today at Ruchill we found ourselves deep in the forest and met some quite fantastical creatures including a rainbow coloured bat who lived in a tree. Snakey AJ who showed us his fancy blue house with two stories which was delightful and he just happened to mention too, that he loved to eat rats! Then there was Jeffrey,  a smiley donkey who liked to eat grass and David, the Pirate Wolf who preferred rabbits as a tasty treat! Further into the forest lived Daniel, the lion who dines on  giraffes and Jamie, another wolf, who eats herbivores. Wolf Osman was just quietly munching on cookies and milk minding his own business when right  in the middle of the forest we spied Boatemaa eating some purple fruit and cookies… I wonder if she was given them by Wolf Osman, as the cookies looked just the same.  Maybe Wolf Osman’s a kind Wolf who shares his cookies! How fabulous! Just then we looked up and there, up high in a tree, was the lesser-spotted Emmanuel bird who was enjoying some worms. He was perched above Sean, the gorilla who ate human meat and Mohammed the tiger who just ate everything! The forest creatures, we discovered pretty quickly, were keen to know the time, as not one of them had a watch except the Wolves! And my, what [...]

Saturday 22nd October 2022 Well! It was a wonderful sight this week to see all the fabulous Ruchill Grannies dressed up so stylishly! We met Granny Osman who drank coffee for his tea, and lived in a home and Granny Jamie, who ate bread with only 5 spoons of sugar in his tea, lived in a flat with a cat, an old tv and a picture of his grandchildren. Then, when we made our way into the forest, to our surprise and delight there was A DJ rock’n’roll star Granny making Rock’n’roll music! This amazing Granny lived in the circus and sang in the circus with Wishy Washy & The Godfather & Abanazzar. He liked to eat burgers and chocolate cake and when he sang and played air guitar, all the trees in the forest began to dance along with him! It was one big old forest disco! Then there was Granny Fares who turned out to not actually be a granny and liked bread. In the forest,Granny Fares grew summer veg & melons and liked cookies and milk for his tea. He was super brave and not afraid of those old Monster Trees at all! Granny Sean liked feet for breakfast inside his house made out of a Hooji potion and Granny Jeffrey enjoyed Pineapple for his tea, but Granny David much preferred to eat strawberry cake [...]

Saturday 15th October 2022 Well! What a super spooky Witchtastic session we had today at Porridge and Play with Licketyspit. After warming up our bodies and minds with a big old boogie and making up some crazy new animals, we went flying off in a bunch of magic, colourful balloons. It was so exciting! We saw Spain and Sudan, ate Donald flavoured ice-cream and found Polar bears. However, on the way back, we happened upon a rather weird and definitely wonderful selection of witches. The first one we were introduced to was a fine young witch named Witch David, who had quite a cackle and had come from Witchland. He kindly explained that he  lived in a spooky house and loves to eat….wait for it…. Human’s feet!!! Can you believe it? I wonder what they taste like? I’m sure a Donald flavoured ice-cream might be nicer or even an onion one! Apparently, he came here on a stick! Then there was Witchy Susu from a house and not just any old house, a Pink Palace! Witchy Susu cackled and said she liked to eat blood!!! I have never encountered such a scary cackle  as that of Witchy Susu! It was just spooktacular! Also flying around, was Witchy Mohammed, who came from a monster and lived inside a house tree stick. He had travelled here with the aid of a [...]
