There’s nothing Monkey loves more than jumping around in muddy puddles, running through the trees and just being outdoor. We love going on nature hunts and will walk for miles when we go off on an adventure. With the autumn leaves looking at their most majestic at the moment we decided it was high time…Continue reading Forestry Commission fun at Westonbirt Arboretum #weloveforests

Abbey Pumping Station Museum #CountryKids
Back in the summer Monkey and I were staying in Leicester. We’d visited the National Space Centre first thing, but Monkey got really spooked with dark downstairs display area.

When I was checking out the route I released we’d be driving right past Rutland Water and a RSPB Nature Reserve. I…Continue reading A boat cruise on Rutland Water #CountryKids

But we did manage to have some fun and we did go Dinosaur hunting in Cambridge too. I hadn’t…Continue reading Dinosaur hunting in Cambridge #CountryKids
An afternoon of fun at Calke Abbey #CountryKids
Today I thought I’d share with you an afternoon of fun at Calke Abbey. Well that’s not entirely true, I’m actually going to share two afternoon’s of fun at Calke Abbey, enjoyed almost exactly a year apart. I never got to share our experience from last year, with all that went with Monkey starting school. So…Continue reading An afternoon of fun at Calke Abbey #CountryKids
