I have my socks on. That’s normally the sign for me. I love my flip flops, and at that first ray of sunshine and warmth, out they all come and summertime commences. But now I’m in socks. And the last few nights, I’ve even put my slippers on.
With autumn looming crisp and fresh, I look back on our summer, our first with Little Man, and one full of more outdoor adventures and picnics than ever before! These are a few of my favourite moments…
So what will autumn bring? Well, my Converse are out now. I do like these, too, and having flip-flopped about, I actually find I do quite welcome the change. My business will certainly be keeping me busier for the next few weeks, Boo’s at preschool two days a week now and she’s making the most of every second of that. Little Man is enjoying more freedom now that he’s getting about with speed, and looks close to walking any time now. So, sad that I am that our wonderful summer together is over, autumn is shaping up to be good fun, too, and this year I think it’ll look a little different. You see, I am determined to keep on getting the kids outside and having fun, rather than hibernating from now until April, as is my usual habit. We’ve got winter woollies and coats at the ready, so I look forward to walks in the park, nature collecting, leaf rubbing, seed planting, hunting for conkers, duck feeding, trips to the playground and continuing to work outside on Project Garden.
I’ll be on the lookout for fresh ideas to have fun outdoors, so please do share yours with me. What will you all be getting up to?
I agree with you, this Autumn we are determined to be out and about so much more. Getting fresh air makes such a difference to your mood too. Lovely photo montage too. #countrykids has been very inspiring.
Yes, it really does and I think the park in autumn looks beautiful and a great place to explore. Thank you 🙂
Lovely photos, and I agree we need to keep getting out and about in the Autumn, so I’ll be looking to #countrykids for inspiration!
Definitely! I’m determined to keep on getting out there 🙂
Such lovely photos! I’m just like you – I love my flip flops and wear them all summer, but the socks, Converse, Doc Martens and slippers have all been back out over the last few days 🙁
It’s just not as good, is it? Missing those flops…!
Gorgeous collection of photos from what was a great summer! It’s great to hear that so many bloggers are determined to keep getting outdoors and having fun in Autumn, you have a great list of activities ready and I’ll look forward to reading about your adventures. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
Thanks very much. We’ve been very #CountryKids inspired here, so thank you, and we will keep on going – I’ll report back… 😉
Lovely pics. I am hoping that sensible clothing is the key yo enjoying the next few months x
Thanks 🙂 Yes, I think that has to be key – they have a ridiculous amount of jumpers at the ready!
i am missing my flip flops already! x
Me, too! Maybe if I put the heating on, I can still wear them inside?!
Looks like you’ve had a brilliant summer. I totally agree with you, it’s that time to put away the flip flops, I’m actually excited to bring out the boots. 🙂
We have, thanks 🙂 I suppose a footwear change makes a nice change!
I’ve had my slippers on for a few weeks now but then our house is freezing. Bring on Autumn 🙂
I’m slowly adjusting to it. Had a lovely walk in the park today with the kids and enjoyed seeing it turning autumnal
