Welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well and safe. The weather has shifted here this week and there is a definite autumnal feel to the air now.

A nature hunt at Chiltern Open Air Museum

Sophie and Thomas in the woods at Chiltern Open Air Museum

Chiltern Open Air Museum is one of our favourite places for a day out. It’s familiar and feels like a safe place to visit with the restricted pre-booked tickets and plenty of outdoor space to allow for social distancing. Sophie quite enjoys looking out for the signs for the sensory trail and telling me what… Read More

A picture of a blue dragonfly on a reed with the text "#366daysofgratitude 2020"

At the start of 2016, inspired by a friend, I started a daily gratitude challenge – posting one thing that I was thankful for each day on Instagram. I enjoyed it so much that when I reached the end of that year, I carried on and have kept going ever since. Finding one little thing… Read More

Friday Focus 18/09/20 – Sunshine

18/09/202018/09/2020
The word 'sunshine' in yellow with a sun above the 'e'

We’ve been making the most of the lovely sunshine this week and have spent most of the time out in the garden. I have a few jobs on my to-do list that have been put off as a result. If they can’t be done while sitting outside and are not urgent, they can wait. Weather… Read More

Creating a teddy bears’ picnic in an egg box

A teddy bears' picnic scene in an egg box

Egg boxes are brilliant for creating small world play scenes and helping keep them contained. We had fun recently creating a small-world teddy bears’ picnic in an egg box using odds and ends from the craft cupboard.

Sophie and Thomas with the wooden carving of Jessica at Jessica's forever bed

September and back-to-school means change and adjusting to new routines and new sibling dynamics. Sophie and Thomas have gone from spending all day together every day to spending a large part of their weekdays apart again. The house feels very quiet with just me and Thomas at home during the day. Thomas misses having Sophie… Read More
