Hanbury

Sunday. A trip out with Nana and Grandad and Louie.
What can I say? It rained pretty much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day! But we had a lovely time wandering the gorgeous grounds and ticking things off the '50 things' list!

 My little farmer!

Hanbury is known for its produce stall in the walled garden. Last year we bought purple runner beans (which were delicious!) but this year didn't disappoint. I couldn't resist this beautiful handtied bouquet and all day I had people asking me where I got my beautiful flowers from!

And without disappointing the little bee, we went pond dipping, den building and had a good long play on the little park. It has been one hell of a busy weekend, but it was definitely worth it!

Summer Holiday

It has been a fantastic long week. Playing on beaches, swimming in the pool, exploring little villages, rock pooling, eating, riding, reading, late nights... oh the list could go on with all of the busy things we have been up to!

Now I have returned home, Mr Bee is still in the South West with his Nana and Grandad and looking back on all of my photographs, it has been a beautiful week. 

Fields of Gold

I have been longing to get myself in the middle of a field of tall yellow crops. With a smell which just triggers summer memories and the only noises you hear are the bees buzzing and the birds singing, it is the epitome of peace.

I'm quite glad I left the boys at home for this little solo ramble. It was just magnificent.

Although there was a flurry of snow this morning, the afternoon sun is making me think towards the warmer weather. Every year I seem to do a post, wishing away the cold weather in favour of the sun.

This time around I am dreaming of early morning trips to the meadow for an outdoor yoga practice, just the Bee and me. Hopping in the car and exploring more new National Trust properties. Making delicious salads and smoothies and puddings. Spending time in our garden playing, reading and dancing.

The summer will be all about making the most of our precious time together before Mr Bee starts school in September.

Our wedding, our family holiday, day trips, camping. All of which can't come too soon!

Cheating the Weather

Whilst most of the country was experiencing torrential down pours and electrical storms, Anna and I were blissfully unaware, having a beautiful day in the heart of Warwickshire. After our last rainy visit, we thought we would return and chance the weather.
Our raincoats stayed safely in the boot of the car all day as we wandered and explored this lovely property. We even treated ourselves to the biggest ice cream ever!
