It is July tomorrow! This year is going by super fast, and in a few days here, it will be the start of the summer school holidays! I love the school holidays and planning lots of fun days for the boys to enjoy.
The Scottish Borders and Northumberland host some awesome events for July this year, and as a mum to three boys I know it can be hard finding suitable things to do. So I have put together a handy list for these areas with a rundown of the events that I think will be worth a visit.
