    Zoo? Wrap up warm? Or the Sea life centre in Bray?

    6. Go to an art gallery

    I'm not very artistic nor do I get excited by old masters but I have found that whenever I have gone to an art gallery I have discovered at least one painting that I love.

    Art is one of those fundamentally human activities that truly differentiates us from other animals.

    Creating and appreciating art is a true expression of human evolution. So this year I intend to bring my children to at least one gallery and just let them enjoy whatever picture grabs their fancy.

    Of course I can't get away from being a psychologist and I know that when I am talking to them about what we've seen I'll be looking to see what their choices say about their inner world. You have to pity them: it's not easy living with me!
