Free weekend activities with kids
This weekend we haven’t spent a penny on activities. We’re just about to apply for a mortgage and are in FULL saving mode. Usually at the weekend we’d go for coffee at the very least.

Break free from the parent sweats caused by kids near roads and scoot freely off-road! I’ve got some lovely little spots for splashing, scooting, biking, running, and walking in South Oxfordshire.
