Pottering garden play
Even though the weather’s not quite as warm as it’s recently been, that’s not stopped N from getting out in the garden after nursery. I love to see him pottering around and he’s reliable enough that he knows how far…
outdoor play
We finally break out the paddling pool
Last year poor N just had a water table and a paddling pool, which was a cheapo circular one that was mainly used as a ball pit. With our outdoor water tap being in the lodger’s side of the garden,…
Red and green – toddler style choice
N’s had a busy day at nursery today, what with sports day, followed by a party lunch in celebration of the leavers going up to school in September. Then in the afternoon they had a splashfest in one of the…
‘Alligator’ or kids John Deere gator driving
N’s been really lucky this week…he’s finally inherited his cousins’ kids John Deere Gator. The Gator’s been going a long time as it was a freebie thrown in with a tractor purchase about 9 years ago. It’s been used by…

We’re so lucky being on the farm, as it means that even if we can’t get further afield (no pun intended!), there’s still plenty of space for the children to play outside. Being farm children, there’s not really any excuse…
Project 365: photo a day week 16
Week 16 of project 365, the run up to Easter and there’s been lots of lovely dry (and mostly sunny) weather. Which means, lots of outdoor play after nursery and work. The downside is that lots of outdoor play means…
Working our way round local play parks
N’s favourite thing recently has been going to the park. It’s great because it means somewhere to ride his balance bike. Yes, being on the farm’s great, but gravel drives make for a bumpy ride when the grass isn’t dry…
Here comes the sun…a spot of kite flying
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…
