I will be honest. I have found this lockdown the hardest of them all. Having spoken to friends and family it seems the feeling is mutual. The rain, the dark evenings, the relentlessness of it all. The pressures of home school. It has all felt too much too frequently. An adventure in the outdoors has … Read more

Wow has it rained a lot. I cannot begin to imagine how it has been for those worst affected by the rain and the flooding that has followed. It must be devastating. It has seemed like a long Winter, and I am just so looking forward to Spring, as I am sure we all are. … Read more
It was 0 degrees when I took H to school this morning. Naturally he was still in shorts and t-shirt, and leisurely walking to the car as if it were, in fact, a balmy 20. I, on the other hand, was acutely aware that we are entering Winter, and as such have mentioned to everyone … Read more

Mine love nothing more than freedom and being outside. Free to move, run, laugh, explore, build, play, go a bit wild. Simple is good. All round. However, there is definitely an … Read more
A photo popped up on Time Hop today of our holiday in France 3 years ago. 3 years? How did that happen? It is a gorgeous shot of our little blondie, before the ties of school and school holidays, when he was still properly little, he didn’t know about football (!!) and we were free … Read more
I read an article last week about how important it was to give our little ones time. And most specifically time outside. We try to do that as much as we can. They are definitely little boys who like being outdoors rather than in. And it is very much our natural inclination to go out … Read more
Adventures in the woods are, without doubt, one of our favourites. If you were to ask Henry for his top 3 adventure days out I am certain this would feature… In fact more often than not if I say we have a free day and give him free choice, or ask him for ideas on … Read more
