Hello April! One of my favourite months of the year. We have lots of outdoor fun planned this month including a trip to Alnwick and Whitehouse Farm. We are spending this Sunday at Exhibition Park where we'll (hopefully) enjoy Sunday lunch at Wylam brewery and take a miniature train ride around the park (they take place on the first Sunday of every month thanks to TSMEE). Don't forget that it's April Fool's Day on Saturday too - let me know if you have any ideas of how I can prank the kids!
