Fun weekend on a budget - Spring edition


So now that spring feels like its finally here I thought I would write another ' Fun things to do on a budget' but related to this time of the year :)
Spring & Summer are great for budget fun because, weather depending, you can make the most of so many FREE places around the country. 
Picnic
Grab a blanket, pack some yummy nibbles and some drink and get to your local park or field and relax. My favourite place to do this is parade gardens in Bath, you pay a small fee to get in, but the grounds are up kept and you have great views of Bath! Don't forget to take a hoody or cardigan, its not summer just yet!
Explore the city, on a bike?
I know that cities are starting to get the Electric bikes that you can cycle around on, for a small fee. This is a really cheap way of getting around, avoiding car parking costs and just great fun! Take some food and drink with you and pitch up somewhere nice, perfect afternoon!
Do some gardening
Get a sunny spring afternoon and do some gardening! Not only will you have a pretty garden, but it is really therapeutic and you might even catch the sun!:)
Bike riding
Not only a great way to get fit, but also explore the country! As long as you have a tyre pump and water the world is your oyster. Stop of at a country pub along the way, what more could you ask for?
Garden Party
The evenings are lighter, its starting to get slightly warmer, why not host a garden party with friends or family? Cook up some bulk food, pasta , pizza even a BBQ,grab some garden games, cover your garden in fairy lights and make some memories!

What budget things do you like to do in the spring?

  2. Lovely post! Whenever it`s sunny I like to take a good book and go reading in the park. And every Sunday we have a family BBQ, with at least 10 people.

  3. Garden party is such a good idea! And dressing up for the garden party in a floral dress or something would be perfect for it!

    Great blog!
