One of the things I’m really going to miss when my youngest starts full-time school in September is being able to visit places during term time hours, without the crowds (and prices) of weekends and school holidays. We’re trying to pack in as many off peak day trips as we...
It’s almost school holiday time here in South Wales with most children finishing this Thursday for just over two weeks. As always there’s plenty going on to keep them entertained. I’ve rounded up everything I can find for the Easter weekend and school holidays plus a few events later in...
