💡AN IDEA FROM WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE...
Whatsup Bedfordshire bought a kite from Poundstretcher in Houghton Regis for only £1.99. We had so much fun which extended our day. Another idea on a nice day for is we brought a canvas and paints from the Works in Dunstable  and painted the Downs (well tried to 😂), costing around £6. Don't forget to bring a picnic too!
