Things to Do this Summer

Now that the kids have finished their term and start their summer holiday tomorrow, I have to plan a couple of things to do. Here is a list of ideas...
  1. Watch a sunset - This will mean keeping them up very late, but might do this while camping in August.
  2. Catch our own supper - There’s plenty to eat out there in the wilderness, but I need to know what to look for and where to look for it. www.wilderness-survival.net will show me what’s edible and what’s not.
  3. Cook on a real campfire - Is this like a braai, or more rustic?
  4. Make our own ice lollies - I am sure this will be a hit on those hot afternoons. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes
     
  5. Sleep under the stars - This is probably another thing to do while camping. 
  6. Get some sand between our toes - www.goodbeachguide.co.uk is an online guide with a description, photo and map for each of 1,200 beaches in the UK and Ireland. 
  7. Swim in the sea - Nothing like a dip in the ocean to cool down on a hot summer day.
  8. Go out all day and don’t come back until it gets dark - More daylight = more time outside.
  9. Pick some wild fruit and make a pie - Now is the best time to go find all those great British berries and make a delicious pie. www.edenfoods.com has recipes for all the best summer desserts.
These should keep us busy for a couple of days then.
