Country Kids 03/10/20

Welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well and safe. What a difference a couple of weeks has made to the weather – we’ve gone from sitting outside in shorts and T-shirt to wrapping up in waterproofs and warm clothes! Summer might feel like a long time ago now, but I still have a couple of summer adventures to share before starting on our autumn ones! If you’ve got any outdoor adventures – summer or autumn ones to share, please do link them up to Country Kids.

 

About Country Kids

Country Kids is the original outdoor family fun linky designed to:

 

“Encourage family fun outdoors, in an age where technology and screens are such a draw to a sedentary indoor life”

 

The linky opens on a Saturday each week and stays open for five days, so there’s plenty of time to link up. It’s a great place to share outdoor posts and find inspiration for future outdoor adventures and the Country Kids community is a supportive and welcoming one.

 

 

Country Kids 03/10/20

We finished off our summer holidays with an afternoon at Cliveden. Although it’s somewhere we’ve visited quite often, there are still new areas to discover and we enjoyed visiting previously-unexplored areas.

Guidelines for joining in:

  • Post must be predominantly outdoors such as in the garden, the park, the woods or the beach with crafting, learning, exploring or playing.
  • Both countryside and urban outdoor adventures are welcome.
  • Unheated covered areas like a barn or tent count as outdoors.
  • Please comment on the host posts and a minimum of 2 others of your choice.
  • If you use #CountryKids when commenting the post owner will know where you found them and hopefully come back to visit your post.
  • Please add the badge so that others know where they can link up.
  • Linked posts should be written and made live within the last 2 months. I understand sometimes you need to do catch up posts and write about something from a couple of months ago but the publish date should be within 2 months.
  • There is no restriction on the number of posts that can be linked up, however please be sensible, if you have more than 3 consider linking over a few weeks.
  • The linky opens at 00:00 on Saturday and closes at 00:00 on Thursday.
