Sunny afternoons in the winter time are definitely not to be wasted and so last Sunday saw us heading out for a walk around Fassnidge Park, a pretty little Edwardian park in the centre of Uxbridge.
I’ve driven past it quite a few times and hubby grew up within walking distance of the park, but this was the first time I’d visited it. Country Kids has been good for encouraging me to discover new outdoor spaces to explore!
As is often the case with our afternoon walks, Sophie spent all of it fast asleep in the buggy but Jessica enjoyed being able to run about and explore. She is quite fascinated by leaves at the moment and was very happy to find this rather enormous leaf to add to her collection.
Naturally, the playground was particularly inviting and Jessica managed to make her way across the net bridge with Daddy’s help. It’s the first time she’s done this and so she was very pleased with herself and needless to say wanted to do it a few more times!
Going down the slide is always lots of fun!
We also spotted some ducks and swans on the River Frays and Jessica was a little disappointed that we didn’t have a bag of food for them. I’ll have to remember to bring one next time!
Looks like a beautiful park, and you can see how pleased Jessica is to have made it across the rope bridge 🙂 Love her dress too! #CountryKids
Thanks Sara 🙂
That photo at the end is really beautiful. What a lovely park to have in the middle of a town. I must say that leaf looks as big as Jessica! If she is into leaves why not collect a few next time you visit and make a collage or do some leaf rubbings? That’s a bag for leaves and bread for the ducks next time! Delighted that Country Kids is inspiring you to explore the area with the girls, it is always a pleasure to see what you have been up to, thank you for joining in.
Thank you Fiona – that leaf is quite huge isn’t it? Lovely to link up again 🙂
That is one mega leaf – it looks like a giant Maple leaf in her hand! Always lovely to find a beautiful park to explore outdoors.
It is huge, isn’t it! 🙂
Its so lovely there! My son also tend to bring home something always. I was cleaning few days ago and found out that I have so much twigs that I can build a fire from it! #countrykids
Lol, yes I know that feeling! 🙂
I do love a bandstand. There’s not enough parks with them anymore, in my opinion. Looks like it was a lovely walk
Thank you – we enjoyed it 🙂
I know what you mean about taking advantage of the weather considering its been so bad of late! Jessica looks so happy and what a huge mega-leaf she’s found!
Lovely photos and glad you had a lovely time outdoors

Thanks Tracey – always lovely to be able to get out and about 🙂
It looks like you had a great day, and nice that you spotted swans and ducks! #letkidsbekids
We certainly did, thank you 🙂
Ah, I’ve been there before – but not for years! Since we had kids I’ve really come to appreciate these big open spaces – perfect for the kids to have some fun and burn off steam. 🙂
Those big open spaces are great aren’t they? 🙂
Looks like a lovely time in the great outdoors. That leaf is a great find, she looks very proud of it!
Thanks for linking #LetKidsBeKids
She was so pleased with her leaf. Lovely to link up again 🙂
You can’t beat a trip to the park at that age, love that last photo. Sorry this is so late – so far behind with commenting #CountryKids
Thank you – I love that photo too! 🙂
