Hello and welcome to another blog post on Carries Everyday Living. So it is another start of the week and my son’s final week until the summer holidays begin.
I have decided to plan out my son’s summer holidays and what I plan to do to this time round, so I have some idea of when and where to take him, create a plan using microsoft word adding activities and days out on a calendar format for each day.
The holidays can cause friction with your finances so I try to balance it all out, so I am not spending too much but my son still gets some quality fun time. There are many places to go to which are free and so this means we can still explore, so we will be visiting a lots of parks and doing some activities at home.
You don’t really have to spend the earth as it isn’t about how much you spend but what we are all going to get from it.
My son loves a park and now that a lot of places have begun to reopen since lockdown we can go ahead and visit. Where I live in Wimbledon there are quite a few parks to choose from, so some days we will be staying local.
There will be some bus rides so going to find one of my other Oyster cards because Henry’s dad has got one of them and will take him on many bus rides and train rides as we go through the 6 weeks holiday.
In Wimbledon you have Garfield Park, South Park Gardens, Wimbledon Common and Wimbledon Park, they are the main ones and there are some little parks too, situated near by aswell.
The Polka Dot Theatre in Wimbledon is closed for the time being as there are works being done, but I am hoping the cinemas will reopen so I may take Henry to see his first ever film at the pictures, I haven’t yet taken him, but I do think he is ready now.
I also plan to do some of the theme parks, like Chessington, which isn’t far, London Zoo, Bocketts farm and Legoland Windsor.
So lets kick start the week, grab a coffee and enjoy our week ahead.
Many thanks for reading,
Carrie X
