With recent updates from the government more places are able to open up from this weekend. This includes bowling alley, ice rinks and the long awaited soft play centres. For the past few weeks I have been sharing ideas on things to do. As well as sharing ideas over on my facebook page I am also running a series of giveaways. The first one is in partnership with Nene Park and Nene Outdoors to win an hour on the swan pedalo! There are plenty more giveaways lined up too so keep checking the Facebook page.
