Whenever we go on holiday, I always try to take N somewhere that’s close enough to go to the seaside for a beach day. We recently stayed in Southsea, Portsmouth – yes it has its own beach but it’s shingle…
You’d think most children would love to visit places and get out away from home. But not my son because the farm calls to him. My only chance for getting him out is offering a bike ride. But even that…
