Mouth off: fun for kids whose parents have an iPhone

In these busy times, most parents of young children spend at least some of the time wishing they could give their kid something that would keep them amused in those interstitial periods waiting to be seen at the doctor’s surgery, waiting for a train or in the car.

I’m still in the process of uploading some 8Gb of photos I took while in the... read more
