Walking

Me and Kit have been walking a lot lately. Just exploring all the fields and rivers around our house. Ira likes to walk with us, but when we want to go for a longer walk we leave her at home with Daddy as her little legs can't keep up.

Today we visited Winflields as Kitty wanted to buy some walking boots with her birthday money. She also bought herself a lightweight back pack and a Summit water bottle.

Then we set off.

 Past our new neighbours.

Along the meadow path.

A lonely horse.

Down the narrow walled track.

A friendly horse.

.....super friendly!

Home just in time for tea.

We have started to map our walks on View Ranger which is pretty cool. We are in training with a view to conquer Boulsworth Hill before Christmas.

Snow play

Muddy Puddles

A short autumn walk.

Squeezing Ira through the stile.

Muddy lanes.

 Splashing is the best fun.

 Scrumping is good fun too.

Blackberries

We went to collect up the last of this summers blackberries from the lane. I was hoping to gather just enough for a breakfast treat, but these pair had different ideas. As fast as we could pick, they ate. 

Then a spot of stick painting to round off the day. 

The Wagon part II

Kitty and Daddy have been working hard on the Wagon. A new petrol tank, lots of bits and bobs under the bonnet and a new carpet.

Mum's Birthday

A visit to Derbyshire for Mum's birthday. Lots of cake and lots of candles.

We love to visit the canal with Grandad and Layla. We went on an adventure around the old forge too where Granada and Layla spend most of their time these days. Grandad showed us his secret stick hiding place.

Wagon conversion part I

Dad made us a couple of ply seats that will convert into a bed.

 Peahead found a bench seat on ebay. It's great as it seats three, folds forward when you want the space and then folds right back into a bed for the kiddos.

Next, rip out the manky old carpet and fit a new one. I can see we will be spending most of the summer in this wagon.......fixing it up rather than travelling in it!
