The hours I spent feeding the ducks and visiting the play area in Godmanchester can't be counted. My children loved playing here when they were little and it wasn't too far to go with visiting family and friends.

When you become a parent you rediscover your childhood and the joy of little things, like feeding ducks!! Honestly you have to get out there and embrace it all, no choice really! It's strange but it really is a tonic and it's fascinating to watch a young child interact with their world.
Seeing the world through the eyes of a toddler though is something else! There is so much to see and do and it's none stop. The world is full of possibilities and when they discover mud... watch out!
As a new mum I wasn't a fan of muddy, messy play. I soon learned though that mud and children go together and it's a great learning experience.
Our first outing as a family to Godmanchester was when Soli's mummy was a toddler. Grandad had it all under control as he was in charge of the reins!

Winter 1988 with Sophia aged 14 months, wearing her first shoes. She had just sat in a muddy puddle and thought it was great! Grandad was supposed to be in charge!

One minute you're walking with your toddler and in the blink of an eye, you're back! ... with your toddlers toddler! How did that happen?

Talking about food! Godmanchester now has a nice cafe serving snacks and hot meals.
