Recommended Posts

This Friday 13th at basecamp we will be learning all about SPIDERS. From the basics to.. how do spiders reach between two trees spin their web? Do they have good eye sight? What do spiders do with their old webs?


We'll be winding wool to make spider webs in the garden and making our own spiders in the meadow.

We are lucky to have some beautiful large spider webs and spiders in the reserve at the moment, so we'll then head off to spot them on our walk.


Muddy Boots is hands-on, engaging, fun and all outside in the fresh air of our lovely Nature Reserve.As always there's digging, watering, exploring and mud painting to keep you busy in the garden.


Then we'll have a walk in the woods (distance to suit your child) and head back to the Basecamp for snacks and drinks, songs, stories or poems.


Dress for the weather, its not very muddy yet, so wellies or other shoes that don't matter if they get a bit grubby.


Meet up at the big green iron Reserve gates on Devonshire Road (opposite Tyson road) at 10am. There is on-street parking on Devonshire Road and Tyson Road.


Prices: It's ?7 per child, ?10 for 2 siblings, child-minded children discount available.

Recommended for children 14m upwards, but younger can try too. Siblings under 14m go free

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
