Welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well and safe. September is now here and Sophie went back to school this week. She’s happy to be back but I do feel a little sad that our time for outdoor adventures together is now limited to just afternoons and weekends. We do still have some of our summer fun to share though over the next few weeks. If you’ve got any end-of-summer outdoor adventures or after-school adventures to share, I’d love for you to share them with 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 05/09/20
We enjoyed a family walk around Osterley Park towards the end of the summer holidays. It’s such a beautiful tranquil spot in spite of being in the middle of quite a built-up area and next to a busy motorway. It was lovely to watch Sophie and Thomas walking along together and to revisit memories of Jessica from our last visit there a few years back.
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.
