Half Term Ideas
- 26 May 2021 15:33370386Hi All!
With half term approaching next week, I was wondering what your favourite activities are during half terms for kids? Days out or mini breaks? Ideas for a weekend are also fab as I'm trying to be more adventurous whilst we can!
Thanks in advance!Ready to embrace life! - 29 June 2021 11:26370667I know nobody came back on this, but we actually ended up having a few fab days out! We went to LEGOLAND for a few days which was nice but quite exhausting. We stayed in this hotel which was amazingly themed, but quite pricey tbh!
We also have family up in Manchester, so we travelled up to see them and the kids had their first skiing lesson (this is the ski lesson package in case anyone is interested!) The kids had a blast - does anyone know of any good snow/snowsports centres down south? Think the kids would love to do something like this for a bit of a longer stint across the summer.
Maybe eventually we could go abroad and ski, although that feels like a long way off at the moment!Ready to embrace life! - Reginald Barrington

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I used to go with others and we would play all day up the meadows in old cars , or walk to the linces green to play all day getting back home late evening
