We are going to have lunch together at a restaurant. In the afternoon, we are going to visit the art gallery because mum wants to see the paintings there . In the evening, we are going to enjoy a performance at the local theatre .On Sunday morning we are going to go shopping, then have a picnic in Sherwood Forest before everyone heads back home in the afternoon .
Well, I think that’s about it. How are you going to spend your weekends? Write soon.
