When we moved here our daughter was only 6 months and our eldest was 6 years old so the first summer we used to put her in a playpen outside and let her older brother roam around freely but the following summer we felt it was time to think of a playspace for her that would be safe and prevent her from wandering off. We considered building her a playhouse but the timber was more expensive than buying the house already built off the internet.
So Ebay it was again and we got a lovely playhouse shortly followed by special offer set of swings. We then bought the picket fencing which was a nightmare to paint and hey presto she had a play area with her own raised bed, first class view of the chickens and overlooked by the Man Cave (woodwork shop) so Daddy can keep an eye on her! Daddy even build her some little walkways out of off-cuts.
One small oversight though... in creating her play space, we actually moved the chickens off that site into a big tree area. All that chicken-poo-rich soil made the grass seed we threw down spring up and even now 12 months later, the grass grows at twice the rate of the rest of the garden!
