We hadn't been entirely sure how we were going to spend our Bank Holiday Monday, we'd planned to visit Castle Ashby Gardens in Northamptonshire on Saturday, which we did with family and had such a lovely time doing so. But asides from that Adam was working his second job on the Sunday and then we'd floated the idea that really we should be working on Monday (we both work from home and when you work for yourself Bank Holidays don't really seem to be a thing do they?! Or at least not usually for us!). Adam's busiest day of the week is Monday and so it made sense to stick to our work routine of working half the day each, but then when we saw the weather forecast, we knew we'd be silly to miss the better than good weather at 26 degrees! And really that's been one of the huge benefits we've found with working for ourselves - we have the ability to be a bit flexible with our working times. (Hence why I'm sitting here right now late at night typing away and making my time up!).
Since having the boys, we've become quite an adventurous family - we love exploring new places and finding new and fun days out to have, but knowing that most places were going to be pretty busy with the amazing weather and with it being Bank Holiday we decided to have a bit of a chilled out garden day. We filled our garden with lots of fun things for the boys to do - we got the paddling pool out, the bubble machine, the ball pit, made up lots of water balloons, got the tunnel and the tent out and then went and bought a disposable BBQ and some meat-free barbecue food and the bits we needed to make us some Pimms and we just really enjoyed the day at home.
