Attingham Jersey Cows

I think I have found a new love. These Jerseys are the most beautiful animals with gorgeous markings and such a lovely temperament. Such beauties!

The Limeyards

Today Pappy had the day off so we had a very rare, mid week family outing. A trip to Calke Abbey to explore the Lime Yards, a brand new walk for us to do. It was a stunning, brisk walk, with the grass still crisp and dewy. 

Loving...

This week I am loving...

Cowshed Cowlick Shampoo and Saucy Cow Conditioner
Every time I go up north I notice how the hard water here in the Midlands makes my hair feel like straw. After our trip to Maiyango, I fell in love with the Cowshed range, especially their haircare. It makes my hair smell amazing (even late into the night!) and my hair is perfectly soft without going lank by the evening.

Fat Face Pyjamas
I was long overdue a pair of pyjamas at Christmas time. When I sadly didn't receive any as a gift, I knew I had to have the pair that I had eyed up in the Trafford Centre before Christmas. Nice and snug new PJ's. I love them!

Bare Minerals Prime Time
What a stunning little product. So light, this primer glides on. I was a little surprised at how orange it was as it came out of the bottle but it smoothes the skin beautifully. A perfect base to any makeup for that flawless finish.

Lush Cupcake Face Mask
Ooh, a pot of chocolate but not for your tum, what a tease! This smells so yummy and is very relaxing. It leaves your skin nice and clear, perfect for a girlie night in.

Clinique Repairwear Uplifting
A little miracle cream. Really hydrating and great for dry patches, puffy eyes and dark circles. And the tub lasts for ages and ages! A definite staple in my overnight bag.

Louie and his Cousins

Yesterday, Papa and I had Harry and Emily for the day to help my sister out :) I decided that we had to go out somewhere, as I wasn't being couped up with three kiddaroos all day, so we packed up a picnic and headed to Beacon Hill, in the National Forest, for a wander.

We encountered lots of cows roaming, Mr Bee was intrigued, shouting moo moo at every one of them!

 We had lots of fun climbing the big hill, which had such spectacular views of Loughborough and farther, it was stunning. Even the big kids appreciated the view.

It was pretty steep for little legs

Harry and Louie

 Dan decided to get in on the climbing, complete with my floral bag... It didn't stop him though!

The pose of the day!

Mr Bee did lots of climbing all by himself

 Then we headed back to the car for a picnic...

 which Louie demolished!

With full tummies, we headed back off into the park to find the 'Natural Play Area' which was a new feature. We had no idea where we were going so finding it was half of the fun! When we arrived there, Mr Bee had fallen asleep in the sling. It was beautiful though, and Harry and Emily went off to explore.

 Papa found some sticks and started whittling them, boys eh!

 And I got tired of holding Louie so I put him on the floor where he slept for a good 45 mins undisturbed!! Back to nature eh

 What a lovely little play area. So we decided to head back to the car as time was getting on, we were having lots of fun! So everyone gathered their sticks and we headed off back up the VERY steep hill and around to the car.

how serene and beautiful

Carrying the big stick

What a lovely day, Harry and Emily wanted to go back again they enjoyed it so much. Can't ask for more than that!
