The start of another week. We managed to make it out of the house for a walk in the evening sunshine. It was like walking through a Tolkien novel.
💛☀️💛
That might be the last of the sunshine for a while. We definitely need the rain but it’s not so much fun walking through a downpour.
💛☀️💛
So we carry on... new topics for homeschool, getting outside as much as we can, music lessons and movie nights.
💛☀️💛

This week I challenged the boys to run/walk/cycle

This week I challenged the boys to run/walk/cycle for at least an hour a day for seven days. With the incentive of a shiny medal they completed the challenge without any problems.
🌿💚🌿
We’ve made lots of discoveries out and about from a mole to a minotaur beetle and lots of stunning foxgloves.
🌿💚🌿
A change of scene each day, new places to explore, finding new walks just a few minutes from home... much needed and hopefully something we will continue.

Look at those clouds! We set off early this morning hoping to get the best of the weather. There were are few showers but thankfully nothing like the thunder and lightning this afternoon!
🌿💛🌿
Today’s finds were fascinating but gruesome. In the woods we came across a dead mole lying on the path. We moved it to a respectable place of rest in the undergrowth and carried on only to find a dead vole on a farm track a few miles later. These things come in threes and unbelievably we saw a poor dead badger on the edge of a bright yellow field of rapeseed. I’ve never seen a mole on a walk before and although macabre it was fascinating to see these creatures up close.
🌿💛🌿
We’re nearly at the end of our challenge to walk/run/cycle for at least one hour a day, every day for seven days. Today we upped the ante and walked over six miles. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us tomorrow!

Despite dark clouds looming, we set out for a walk in the woods.
🌿💚🌿
Youngest fell in a muddy bog, eldest twisted his ankle... so it was one of those really pleasant family walks where someone is either moaning, falling over, moaning about the falling over, or asking how far away the car is 🙈.
🌿💚🌿
We persevered and I’m so glad we did. We came to a clearing and the sun came out just as we found this stunning foxglove! So unexpected and it made my day.
🌿💚🌿

Inspired by @jenniemaizels we painted an egg box, packed a picnic and went looking for rainbows in the woods.
🌈🌿🌈🌿🌈🌿
We walked miles and miles and there were no complaints! The boys took on the challenge of finding something natural for every colour in the rainbow box.
🌈🌿🌈🌿🌈🌿
Then the task was to look up and identify the wild flowers we discovered from the red wild poppies to sky blue flax, blush pink dog rose and bright yellow lesser celandine!
