October Holidays 2022
October Fun for School Holidays
There’s always plenty to do in our little corner of the world.
Find beech nuts and pine cones. Play with the goats and chickens. Spot the wildlife on the river and dry land (beaver, otter, kingfisher, heron, swans, birds, red squirrels …). Play hide and seek and rolling down the grassy bank. Catch a falling leaf, chill on your balcony and listen to the birds …
But if you’re looking for something else to do this October then look no further.
Here’s a cobbled together list done at top speed.
