Rain has been on and off for a couple of days but today, 1st December, it decided it was definitely on.
We are warm and dry in our large tent in the garden. Talk about glamping!
Because it was so wet, the family decided to spend the morning at the Hamilton Museum - particularly the kids science section, Bright Sparks.
We played tunes on the pipes of different lengths, played 3D noughts and crosses game, interacted with the farm display where one could pull knitted vegetables out of the "ground" and load them into a wheelbarrow, got to operate grain machines and more.
The kids could dress up as cows and learn about the digestion of a cow.
My favourite was a ferro-fluid controlled by two adjustable magnets.
I also enjoyed the machine which could draw, controlled by pendulum-type movements of horizontal and vertical weights.
We whiled away the rainy morning and came back for a yummy lunch.
