The National Trust recently published a list of 50 things to do before you reach the age of 12. Upon reading said list, I realised that I had completed few of the suggested activities.
The teenager has done most of them. The three year old has attempted 12 out of the 50 - I have tried just two more than this, despite being twice the upper age limit.
So, with this in mind, the five of us decided to work our way through the entire list togther.
Wish us luck!
