We don't celebrate Mid Summer here although next Sun is Father's Day. We will be going to friends to stay over and if the weather is good they'll be having a bar-b-que. Not sure how if we'll stay the full weekend, we have a dog and am considering leaving my son, who's just turned 16, to stay here overnight on his own to mind the dog. He probabaly won't want to go anyway, he's not really fussed on going out with his Mum Dad and wee sister anymore! If he does stay on his own I'll let him have one of his friends stay too, just one mind you, I figure between the pair of them they could manage not to burn the house down This will be his first time home alone overnight, its a really big deal and I'm as nervous as hell about it!

Not sure if I'd like to go spend 4 days in a cottage with people I don't really know, is there nothing else you could do? Although I suppose you could take a stack of books with you
