So that leaves us with the 16 and 13 year old, living in the middle of the countryside (which I might add is also SOOOOO boring) where the nearest entertainment that will allow under 18s in, is a good £50 round trip taxi ride away and neither of us is willing to drive anywhere, We have settled for the same as last year as we grown ups really enjoyed it. The neighbours will be coming round for a meal, each household providing a course which sounds lovely to me. But how to make it "exciting" for the turnagers.
When I was growing up my parents always had a party for the neighbours (but they lived in a village so there were more of them) which involved food and party games and quizzes. However I suspect games and quizzes will be SOOOO embarrassing to my turnagers. So what do I do? All suggestions gratefully received......
