๐Ÿ’ป Guess whoโ€™s got a ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ? Oh yes, that is me. Over 3 years of hard work has led me to this and I feel so proud of myself. Starting a degree during Covid and homeschooling children and working is just insane when I think back.โฃ

โฃ
As itโ€™s an apprenticeship, through my employer, I still have some work to do to finish off. But my certificate is en routeโ€ฆ the hard work is done. I wouldnโ€™t have been able to do this if it wasnโ€™t for my employer giving me time to study and Hubby for giving me the space to work into the evenings and weekends. Itโ€™s a lot of time. And I will be forever grateful. โฃ
โฃ
I love learning and itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve always wanted to do, as I left uni at 20 without my ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ degree. It was my biggest regret leaving so close to the end. But Iโ€™ve done it now and thatโ€™s the main thing. โฃ

Finding a Christmas gift with wildlife in mind #RSPB

Finding a Christmas gift with wildlife in mind #RSPB

Shopping with the RSPB is a brilliant way of finding perfect gifts for loved ones this Christmas and helping birds and wildlife - every time you shop. I love the fact their products are environmentally friendly too. With everyone focussed on saving the planet, there isn't a more timely way to change the way we shop.  VIEW the POST

Finding the colours of a rainbow in nature

Finding the colours of a rainbow in nature

On Sunday we went for a lovely walk in the woods. It was nice because we ended up at the RSPB bird lodge, spontaneously. It's a nice walk along the woodland to get to the lodge, surrounded by nature. A straight line with a forest on one side and big open space on the other. It makes for great perspective photos. Daddy took his big camera out too, always guaranteed a nice photo! VIEW the POST

Are you Born to be Wild?ย 

On Saturday morning we met the very lovely Hattie Garlick and the team at Rainham Marshes RSPB to celebrate the launch of Hattie’s new book Born to be Wild in a very nature oriented, let’s get outside kind of way. It was great to get out in the fresh air and explore: pond dipping, nature spotting and creating an Easter tree. All things we had never done before as a family, it was great fun.

#CountryKids: a leaf throwing adventure

#CountryKids: a leaf throwing adventure

Yes! I can finally say that I am so happy to see autumn: cool days where we can wrap up warm and venture to a forest or park and throw autumn leaves around and have the most fun! We spent a couple of hours walking around our local RSPB this weekend, it was a lot of fun and that goes for the adults too. These photos make me incredibly happy, my favourite people and my favourite time of year. VIEW the POST

Country Kids: If you go down to the woods – Take 2

So this is Dean's perspective (Custardface Photography), remember my photos a couple of weeks ago: If you go down to the woods. VIEW the POST

If you go down to the woods…

…today! Today’s Country Kids is coming from our local local RSPB nature reserve, where we spent the sunny (ish) morning making the most out of the weather, it was nice to let the children roam free and explore the woodland and get some beautiful photos along the way. I was using my point and shoot Nikon and Daddy had this proper cameras, so I am sure Daddy’s photos will be a million times better.
