The Summer Holidays 2025

What a Summer Holiday it has been. My son went to his Holiday Club, been doing lots of walking and exploring. 

Picture I took of Windsor Castle  


We have been to Windsor with my mum and step dad, and was a really good trip. We have been swimming and walking various bus routes as my son is really into his buses at the moment and did 30,000 + steps to Kingston and walking some parts back to Epsom, walked to Morden and visited Morden Hall which we love and just doing things we both enjoy. 

Summer Holidays can be such a good bonding time and my son loves my company and loves going to different places, and we have about two weeks left. 

Henry has not got a place yet, as he is now at the age to go to Secondary School, but it has been stressful. I didn't realise how hard it would be. The problem is, because he is under SEND, there are limited amount of schools, but also the handling of Henry's Case, has not been good and so we are stuck but pray that it all works out.

I have returned to Parkrun and really enjoying it, Henry will be returning to his football training and so I will be taking part in doing Parkrun again solo. Henry will be doing his Rugby on a Sunday. I took a month break from my Radio show because of the School #summer holiday, but will be returning in September.

I do a show on Sunday's 4pm to 6pm: https://www.epsomhospitalradio.org.uk/on-air/presenters/carrie-challoner

It has also been a time of a declutter and getting ready for the change of season and be doing my yearly Autumn Reset, getting some unfinished tasks done, like building my other two Youtube channels: Financial Living: 


And my Educational Youtube Channel: 

I published my book Mum&Me: https://read.amazon.co.uk/sample/B0BGSS7H9K?clientId=share and completing the first draft of another book. I feel writing is a therapy, along with walking and grateful for my legs and hands that I can do the things I enjoy and my son is funny as he likes to work on his Laptop personating me. 

So it is all systems go and more things to come. 

Many thanks for reading,
