What a miserable rainy day. The children and I were so excited to go on a day trip on the train to Bangor only to discover the train line is closed this weekend due to maintenance. They were very sad. I did however discover they run an all day train and bus ticket for 2 adults and 4 children for £23 so my best friend and I who are affected by the cost of living crisis are going to do this for trips in the summer months to save money and take a picnic. This is probably going to be the toughest summer because the hunger payments for children on Free School meals have ceased and that affects me.
