10 Brilliant Things To Do In Wales And The Wye Valley This Summer!
Now that school’s out, let’s think about what to do with the kids!
It’s worth remembering that it’s not only the “big” days out that make memories, it’s the time spent together that makes it special.
I love the story of the grown up who was talking to her elderly Mum and said that it was as the “picnic TV dinner nights” that she loved the most. Her mum said, "but they were the night she that I was feeling tired and low and didn’t know what to cook, so I just cut up lots of little things that I could find, like bits of cheese, some fruit, frankfurter, crackers, whatever I could find. Those were the nights I was failing."
Her daughter said, "no Mum those were my favourite nights!"
So those days when you have a picnic in the garden and a hose pipe to play with are as precious as the “big” days out!
