Early last week, our beloved wooden tractor was STOLEN! 😱 It seems the suspects had a change of heart (or maybe it proved too tricky to smuggle away), because the rascals abandoned it, stranded in the Adventure Park. Suspects have been arrested as an investigation is still underway. 🐐

While it may have had an unexpected journey, we're happy to report that the tractor is safe and has now settled into its new home. You’ll now find it located right next to our sandpit, ready for more little adventurers to enjoy! 🌳✨

Bluebell definitely wears the trousers in the relationship and has Fred worshiping the branch she perches on. Bluebell is Fred’s biggest supporter and is really encouraging him to talk more (especially at food time). They're the ultimate duo. 👩‍❤️‍👨
