I think I must have been a very unperfect mum because I can't for the life of me remember doing very much with my boys who are now 25 and 23 in the summer holidays. As we lived down the end of a lane in a hamlet I think I just opened the back door, shoved them out and told them to play! Outings were to the playing field park where there was a swing, a seesaw and a slide that was really high and if you fell off, you would most likely crack your head open on the concrete underneath! An adventure meant a trip to Clarkes in Tonbridge Wells for new school shoes. If it rained,which of course it often did,there was always the telly to watch! We did venture to Hastings on a bus once, but I had raging toothache and spent most of the time spaced out on potentially lethal doses of paracetemol!<br />Neither of my boys suffered from being left to their own devices and we didn't end up bankrupt come the start of the new term dure to forking out a fortune on keeping them entertained for six weeks. Considering I have worked with children since the boys were tiny, you would think I would have been more of a "hands on" mum organising crafty days, trips out and activity days at the local leisure centre, but to be honest,I needed a break from kids and I hate to say it, but that included my offspring too!
