That’s What The Climbers And Creepers Are Calling It These Days

(I’m Dutch and so are my parents. Their English is not entirely perfect, especially my mum’s. They are on holiday in London and visit the botanical gardens.)

Mum: “So, we had visited the glasshouses and the rock garden and a few other places. We got to those just fine. The final place we wanted to go to was called climbers and creepers. We already had trouble finding it, we tried to follow the signs but after a while we didn’t see any anymore. Finally we reached this huge play area for kids. Disappointed we turned around, thinking we would never find the place.”

(At this point I’m starting to realise what is going on.)

Mum: “A few steps later we realise that that was exactly what we had been looking for. Climbers and creepers… didn’t have plants… It was just for kids…”
