A space hopper made for two

Perhaps all the excitement of having an extra day off work for free has gone to my head, or it's the realisation that summer is right around the corner and I better start on those having summer fun plans but, right now, what I want more than anything else in my life is one of these:

A cunning twist on a childhood favourite, you can bet you'd sure look sweet upon the seat of this space hopper made for two. Buy it for £28 (including an oh-so-useful foot pump) from the Science Museum and then, off you go!, boing off into the summer sunset with your chosen loved one.

Hop hop hooray!

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Remember space hoppers? (Or, hippity hops for our American readers). They were the most fun. I bet we'd look silly on one now though. So instead, I'm going to buy this space hopper mug from The Catkin Collection. You can expect me to be muttering "boing! boing! boing!" as I pour my tea.
