Exploring sculptures at Compton Verney
It’s been almost a week since we went to Compton Verney for a day out, but I’ve only just got round to sorting through all the photos I took. I’d never been to Compton Verney and always meant to given…
country kids
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…
A walk in the woods at Batsford Arboretum
I think we’ve pretty much exhausted the parks nearby and I like to get out and about to do something a bit more special at weekends rather than just going to the same places. Maybe parks can be our Friday…
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…
Exploring valleys and hills of Burton Dassett Country Park
Chance to explore the countryside at Burton Dassett Country Park in Warwickshire, hills for climbing and walking around

Sailing boats and reservoir walks
A walk at Grimsbury Reservoir Banbury, enjoying the sailing boats.
Out on the farm
Now Autumn’s drawing in, and it’s back to nursery full time, it’s a lot harder to be getting time outside. I think we’re going to be struggling to be joining up regularly with Country Kids due to Saturdays being full…
Day out at Millets Farm
I’ve been feeling like we haven’t really done anything recently. Of course we have, but it’s basically been work, chores, essentials, and not a lot else apart from pottering around the farm. So I was determined that today we would…
