Mummy first and foremost.
Happiest in nature, with my nose in a book or watching period drama. Enjoy birdwatching with Son1.
A day without laughter, is a day wasted.

Here we go then, one last time before Christmas. I'm already feeling emotional and it hasn't even started yet! I just know this is going to be another brilliant episode, continuing the theme of this phenomenal series. #ACGAS

Great day at Billingford Lakes where we finally managed to add goldcrest to our life list after seeing not just one but three! Also spotted these fungi (if anyone knows what they are I'd be interested to know) and a few great crested grebe too.

Early start this morning as we headed over to #RSPBSnettisham, as requested, to celebrate this awesome 9yo's birthday. Always a wonderful place to be, especially on spectacular days when so many people gather for the mutual love of birds.

All set for #ACGAS with a cuppa and leftover shortbread. It's definitely been the theme of the day in our house as we've celebrated Son1's birthday. Now time to put my feet up and enjoy S6 E3!

Perfect autumn day for a walk. Son2 collected some autumnal bits along the way and brought home to draw a picture.

Back to my cosy autumn Thursday evenings. I'm set for the return of #acgas with a pot of Yorkshire Tea and the all important shortbread as usual. Who's with me?
All aboard the Darrowby Express! Next stop - Skeldale. 🚂

Ok #ACGAS folk, I need your help!
My eldest has become completely obsessed with the new ACGAS series (my fault of course!) and has asked for an All Creatures themed birthday! He will be 9.
Any ideas for things I could put in his lunchbox? Obviously a shortbread is essential!

#DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale really was the perfect farewell to all the characters. The right blend of humour and reminiscing. Loved seeing how each character had developed. If you're a Downton fan get yourself down to the cinema, it looked and sounded amazing on the big screen.

And they're off! What a start to the school year, absolutely pouring with rain! Thankfully the boys both got into school reasonably dry but I, on the other hand, got half drowned on the way back!

Mandarin, a rather cross looking Tufted Duck and Red-Crested Pochard all seen today at Pensthorpe. A wonderful relaxing day, always something for everyone of all ages to enjoy.

My boy really is a chip off the old block. He found this lovely artwork in the charity shop yesterday for a fiver and bought it with his pocket money. It wasn't until I lifted it into the car that I noticed the sticker on the back, originally £165.

When my rhythm falls out of time, nature is always there with the reset. Nature is my sanity.

Been extra quiet lately as we are currently away from home with VERY patchy signal. Finally made it to somewhere I've wanted to go for a long time today and saw gorgeous gannets! 🪶

Can't beat a good rummage around in the charity/secondhand shops for treasures. Recently found this and just couldn't leave it behind. Needs cleaning up and the frame could do with a wax but I know exactly where I want to hang it.

Summer camp out in the garden. BBQ and toasted marshmallows, card games, stories, stargazing, watching for owls (we didn't see any this time but heard both male and female tawny calling) and we had a bat visit the garden.

Full of cold and feeling absolutely rubbish but my little family have been out and got me Sudafed and bought chocolate muffins too so we can curl up and watch #ACGAS together. 🥰

Early trip to the play park this morning, perfect spot for the boys to burn off some energy whilst I watch the swallows. Lots of cute little bunnies in the distance too.
