We had our Playful Street yesterday, 19 children, from 6 months old to 12 years old, we had bubbles, chalk, races on vikes, Go Karts, Scooters, we had every family bring out home baked buns, cakes and biscuits. It was a huge success and was so nice to get lovely feedback from some of the older residents who came out in support of the community.
