August was quite a stressful month so it was nice to start September with a picnic! The kids and I love picnics and we live in such a beautiful area, there are plenty of pretty, peaceful places to actually have a nice picnic! We packed the picnic up in our new picnic hamper which was kindly sent to me to review. We took a football with us, too and away we went! Walking through the woods to the beautiful meadow on the other side is our favourite spot! There's plenty of space for the kids to run around and burn off energy and it's so very peaceful.




This is a lovely spot where me and my brothers and sisters use to play as kids, it's really lovely to be able to create memories, in the same place, with my own children.

After our picnic, the kids had a kick around with the ball and rolled down the hill, which was great fun for them, hehe.






We had a wonderful afternoon, the weather was perfect and thankfully not TOO hot! Walking back through the woods I managed to capture this picture below (on my phone!) of the lake in the woods, isn't it beautiful?


Maybe we'll be able to squeeze in a couple more picnics before the cooler weather hits us! I hope you've been enjoying the weather, too :)
How has your summer been?

We have been blessed with some beautiful weather lately and we thought we'd make the absolute most of it! With there being no school, it's hard to keep the kids entertained. So I thought we'd kill two birds with one stone. I had promised the kids we'd get an ice cream and go for a walk and Pokemon hunting. So that's what we did and whilst we were by the barbers, I got the boys a quick, much needed(!!) hair cut.
We had a lovely walk and found some Pokemons along the way :) If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you'll know that we love PokemonGO hunting! We actually ended up walking five miles on this particular day - accidentally. The kids absolutely love walking and being out in the fresh air, I didn't realise we had walked so much until we got home and checked my step counting app!
Enjoy the pics! (Only phone photos as I didn't take my camera with me. I will next time though!)






We have lots to do this month from our August Bucket List. I hope the weather stays nice.
How have you been enjoying the weather recently? :)

On Good Friday, with there being no school and the start of the half term, we decided to make the most of the sunny weather and go for a nice walk along the river bank! It's one of favourite places to go for a walk as there is so much to see. It's even better when the weather is mild and sunny! For the first time this year we didn't even need to wear our coats. It was lush.




There's plenty of ducks, swans and geese to be spotted as well as signs of spring. The flowers are starting to bloom! It's such a beautiful time of the year. The kids had a blast feeding the ducks, swans and geese and I had a great time taking photos! Which are slowly improving as I get use to using my bigger camera.




We spotted some old boats, which the kids were fascinated with!  When I was little we use to climb in an old boat (I'm not sure if it was this one) but we can't do that any more as the marsh land os very waterlogged! And it actually would be quite dangerous to do that now but still, I enjoyed sharing my memories with my own children! Charlie was truly fascinated and wondered how old the boat actually was!





Hopefully our sunny spring weather comes back throughout the half term so we can go on more adventures!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and managed to find a break in the weather!
