My DD and SiL moved to the coast last summer and the DgC fell in love with the beach. It is mainly shingle and larger rocks and rock pools. They love beachcombing and all four of the GC has found some marvellous treasures. They have promised to take me next time I visit, as there are more wonderful discoveries to be made.

I will be taking GS to Foxton Locks to walk along the locks and canals.

We live in a rural area. We will walk round the village, visit local NT properties and gardens, animal based activities (DGS is animal mad). We will also inspect our garden to see how the fruit and veg are doing.

We are also into geology and DGD belongs to Rockwatch, a geological club for children so we may try to join any local geological activities and inspect and discuss the local geology, including what the old houses locally are built of.

I gave my DS and DDIL a annual subscription to Kew Gardens. It's the best £ I've ever spent; they visit with DGS at least twice a month and two guests get free entry every time so hopefully we'll be joining them. DGS absolutely loves running around the beautiful gardens smile
He had a first birthday picnic party there, so ideal for tiddly toddlers too.

Spring has sprung at last and we and the Peter Rabbit Club would love to know how you'll be spending time in the great outdoors with your grandkids over Easter.

Will you be exploring nearby parks? Looking for wildlife? Or even (weather permitting) making a den? Let us know below. There's also a bundle of the latest Peter Rabbit animation books for one poster to win, including ‘Hop to It’ Sticker Book, ‘Easter Egg Hunt!’, ‘My Mum’ and ‘Friends Forever’.
