I had managed to speak to my daughter Samantha before our first swim of the day at Market Drayton. She would bring our grandchildren, Danny and Evie over to Highly Pool for a swim and to meet up. I had estimated that it would be around 12 noon when we would arrive and we were only a few minutes late. Again, we were greeted by very friendly staff who warmed to our cause. The pool is attached to a school and beautifully maintained. It was fully tiled and had a grassed area where people could sit and picnic. However, for such a good facility, it didn’t seem very well used. We were in the half term break but there did seem many patrons about. We wondered why? We completed our mile, 64 lengths in our usual time, 25 minutes for Dave and around 28 minutes for me. We then had a lunch in the café with Samantha and the kids. As we were leaving, Evie managed to scatter her dolly babies all over the floor and was insisting that they were all perfectly edible, Well, when you are four, why not not?
