That's from one of the Narnia books, I forget which one. But it's been on my mind today. Not particularly sure why. It's applicable to a tv show I've been watching, an Australian period drama, but other than that...
Speaking of tv, I am currently watching Old People's Home For 4 Year Olds. Such an endearing show, one of the best on telly. A pre-school gets set up inside a retirement village, and the seniors and the children interact every day and eat lunch together. Most form a senior-child partnership.The nursery teachers present daily activities that challenge the seniors in various ways, whilst making it look like they're challenging the children. Or that suits them both, really. Day 1, they had to draw each other. They've also learned ballroom dancing and are taking care of chickens. Last week they went out for a ride on the local trams, and the seniors had to negotiate buying the tickets (from a machine) and getting the children on the tram and sitting down safely and so forth. This week, they are going to a maze. They've had a copy taped onto the floor of the main room at the retirement village for two weeks, and have had practice sheets to work on, and now they have to navigate the real one with hedges 7 or 8 foot high.
