I'm looking for ideas of things that I can plan
to do with Mathew during the Summer Hols. I know it's a few weeks away yet, but
I don't get to spend too much time with him, what with work being flat out busy
at the very time that he has some spare days he could spend with me, so I want
to make the most of every available second. Philippa has already pencilled in
some playdays with other families, and we have a couple of barbecues in the
calendar already (one of which we are hosting), so it's not as if he's facing
six weeks of absolute nothingness, but it would still be nice to have some
other activities planned.
Maybe this is a situation where my work head and my home head are getting a bit
confused with each other and overlapping. I'm so used to making sure that our
visitors have things to occupy them while they are occupying one of our
caravans that I feel I have to do the same for my offspring. But satisfying
customers who have paid for a full week of fun is different to satisfying a son
who is supposed to be having a month and a half of rest. After a tough year of
schooling, it may just be that he will be happy to chill at home and play with
his toys, and that dragging him out all over East Anglia will actually annoy
the Hell out of him. But - again - it would be nice to have the options.
