Autumn {Half Term} Bucket List

January 13, 2023October 26, 2020 by Elle Steer

I may say this every year but I am not a big fan of Halloween.

What I am a big fan of is making the most of the season and time that we are in. Whilst also not being naive to the fact that Halloween is everywhere so you can’t exactly avoid or ignore it can you? Especially with children. What you can do is hone in on all the lovely (non scary) aspects and do them to the max. To find what you like about a season, or a ‘holiday’ (is Halloween technically a holiday in the UK?) and make it your own.

Essentially that’s the pumpkin spice and all things nice part. The cosy knits, candles and crisp sunshine with the excuse to hunker down of an evening with a glass of red and a good book.

Our Family Summer Bucket List – 2020 {In Lockdown(sort of)}

January 13, 2023July 22, 2020 by Elle Steer

What a year so far! I truly cannot believe it is the summer and we have already been at home for over 4 months already. 2020 will be known for the year of muddling through for sure. So we have finished home schooling, breathed a sigh of relief not to have people to answer to and lessons to juggle into our already crazy busy life yet here we are also staring down the barrel of more time at home. So much of the same right?

Fruit Picking At Scaddows – A Slice Of Normality

January 13, 2023July 20, 2020 by Elle Steer

Our annual trip to Scaddows Farm in Derbyshire is truly a crown pleaser. For years and years (I’m talking when Eva was in a carrier whom is now a fully fledged almost 10 year old!) we have frequented this pick your own farm for strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. We even picked pumpkins last year, something we will definitely repeat if this weird world we live in in 2020 allows.
