Finally today we had a lovely sunny day and so we went for a really nice walk by the river. However, these warm days are few and far between. Thinking of days out when it is pouring is a bit more difficult - especially if you don't want to spend money. So how about this:
Rain was beating down on the windscreen as we were all ready to go to some jubilee celebrations, but couldn't quite face a parade in this rain. I looked to my husband in the car wondering what we should do, and he responded: "Let's go to see the tropical fish at Arturis" (a local garden centre). I was a little shocked and not sure whether to quite believe him, but he was serious! With no better ideas, we trundled down to visit the fish. It was quite a revelation: we spent at least half an hour looking at all the different kinds of fish and all the high-tech tanks. It was only then that my husband confessed that this is what he used to do with his family on a rainy day as a regular outing! After our visit to the fish, we had a cheap lunch out at the garden centre cafe. It was still raining when we came back home a couple of hours later, but we thoroughly enjoyed our little trip out and then snuggled up on the sofa to watch a film and have a cup of tea - satisfied by our achievement of a surprise cheap day out!
