To round off this little series here are a few other random ideas of things that you could do as a Father’s Day activity rather than just getting a random card and junk from a DIY store.
Visit a National Trust or English Heritage site - I recently got a membership update telling me a few of their locations are opening up in the coming weeks so there may be something happening near you.
Go and hunt out a local heritage site - I guess this is a little similar to the NT or EH option above but there are loads of other places around where you live that may not be own the map. For instance: in Huddersfield there’s the castle on Castle Hill; Wakefield has the Cathedral; in the Peak District you have places like Millers Dale where there’s a disused railway and old lime kiln ovens you can step inside and look at. Your area will have odd bits of history and likely there’s a local history book to help guide your adventures. Or just go for a walk and look at what you find.
Other ideas for on your walk would be to take a spotters guide and see what wildlife you can see or what plants are growing in the hedgerows (cities also have wildlife and plants you can find - try looking at the stonework of old buildings and see what might be growing on or living in it).
Do some garden bushcraft - how about setting up a little camp fire and cooking some marshmallows or sausages on a stick. Or make a den (if you don’t have sticks and things then use chairs, clothes horse, old sheets etc). Teach your kids to safely use a knife to whittle some wood. All these skills will come in handy when the Zombie Apocalypse comes (in fact there are many skills we’ve picked up in the last few months that will come in handy then - treat this is a dry run for when the world collapses into chaos…).
