“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”

I went for a bicycle ride with my six-year-old daughter on Parkland Walk, a trail that used to be a train track. She’s new to riding and this was the longest journey she had made. At the end of the track, as it were, we found a cafe and I promised her a treat for being so brave. While we drank and ate I watched the only other people in the place as they talked and talked. I couldn’t resist as they were so engrossed.
