As a parent Halloween fills me with dread. Do we light a lantern or pretend we are not in? Should we buy lots of bad sweets (hooray) or healthy treats (boo)? Then there's that child grabbing as much as they can, and do I really want my child to beg for sweets from strangers?
It's grey, cold and windy. Great, let's go fly a kite!
It may not be t-shirt and shorts weather, but there is no need to let that stop you having fun. It's the perfect weather for kite flying and if it's overcast even better, as you are less likely to be dazzled by the sun.
Kite flying has really taken off (excuse the pun) in the last few years, with kites ranging from the old faithful single line diamond kites to stunt, power and traction kites. In this feature we will explore how adults and children can have fun together, the different types of kite, where to go for advice and how to find the best location for kite flying near you.
Lunchtime doesn't have to be a nightmare with children. Whether you are looking for a full on restaurant experience, buffet, picnic or a simple packed lunch there is something to please everyone and a wealth of eating options for families on a day out.
