I hope that spring weather has arrived by the time you’re reading this – at the moment it’s raining as it has been for months. I know it’s difficult to keep the kids, not to mention ourselves, happy and occupied in this weather but hopefully our events list will help – at least some of them are indoors! Since the last issue, the website has been redesigned to give you an even better service. Have a look if you haven’t already – everything from the magazine is there and easy to search – along with more events as I hear about them. I’d love to hear your comments, good or bad, about our new look so do get in touch. In this edition, we’ve included features on two local places. Basing House has a fascinating history and is well worth a visit. There are many exciting events being staged there this year – see our events page and we’re giving you a voucher to help a little with the cost. The other place is Fleet Pond, one of my family’s favourite places for a walk in the fresh air. Every year they hold a free wildlife day and it really is a good day out for both adults and children if you’re interested in nature and wildlife. See the feature for details. We have two fantastic competitions this time – for family tickets to see the Angelina Ballerina show at the Anvil in Basingstoke for all your

young ballet fans and also to go to Paulton’s Park with its wonderful and very popular Peppa Pig World. Best of luck with those. Apart from these, the magazine is full of useful listings as usual. Please do let me know if there’s anywhere you go with your family which is not listed – it’s your magazine and I want to keep it as up to date as possible. If you have a business and are interested in promotion, contact me to discuss the options – I promise there will be no ‘hard-sell’. Anyway have a great Spring and early Summer, whatever the weather. The next edition is out in July so I’ll be back then.

Basing House

Holiday Schemes and Activities Cont’d

Basing House was once the country’s largest private home to the powerful courtier William Paulet, Marquess of Winchester. It was the scene of many royal visits, by Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and others. The earthwork banks and ditches of an earlier medieval castle still dominate the ruins. After long sieges and bombardments the house fell to Oliver Cromwell.
