Bored? My parents repeatedly said to me growing up that bored people are boring! Anyway, I have put together a few ideas of things to do at home for anyone that is at a loose end! And this is to take you away from digital as we are all getting just a little bit webinared and video called out! Have a lovely weekend all!
