Adventures
Our adventures out and about in the UK, on the farm and further afield.
Exploring sculptures at Compton Verney
It’s been almost a week since we went to Compton Verney for a day out, but I’ve only just got round to sorting through all the photos I took. I’d never been to Compton Verney and always meant to given…
Simple pleasures – garden play
The weather’s turned a lot warmer recently, and apart from a bit of rain, it’s generally been dry enough to get out for some garden play and a mooch around. N loves being outside, and at his day nursery earlier…

Red Tractor Recruits get inspired
It seems like ages ago I wrote a post about what the Red Tractor meant to me, but the work of the Red Tractor has continued and last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to a launch event…

It’s been a long time coming, but other than a few sporadic bursts of sun and blue sky between rain clouds, we’ve had nothing like today’s weather. It’s been quite glorious and just about warm enough to be outside without…
God brothers and seaside fun
Our mammoth weekend (few days) of fun included lots of outdoor excitement and fun. We were staying with my best friend’s parents at their farm in Lincolnshire, so it was a chance for N to get to spend a bit…
