Lazy Wednesdays

Breakfast in bed, running errands, collecting leaves in the woods, baking more treats with Mr Bee, watching the Nightmare Before Christmas twice, getting crafty, making a cracking pie for dinner and an evening of films and TV with the big Bee.

I love Wednesdays.

{This Week}

What a busy week.
Secret job interviews, assignments and revision, helping finish very important shoes, photographing Final Major Project pieces, keeping busy and out of the way, putting the camera on the shelf for a little while, introducing Anna and Isaac to Swithland Wood, baking a whopper of a summer fruits cheesecake, planning for decorating our bedroom (finally!) and receiving wonderful news - he got the job!! 

Snowy Woods

Wrapping up warm, we packed a little picnic lunch and headed out for some fresh air. A flask of tea, sandwiches, vegetable crisps and biscuits. Snow was falling around us as we walked through the snow patched woods.
The boys played in the stream, making bridges and dams, whilst I bimbled around with my camera.
We spent the afternoon with various family and friends before heading out to our favourite restaurant, Ashfields, for an early birthday supper. Delicious!

Friday

Things have been incredibly busy around here this week. Extra shifts for the entire month mean I have had barely any time with Mr Bee to do anything fun! Wednesday we spent baking and meeting up with the wedding planners, we were too busy to pick up the camera, eek!
Then yesterday I had working in the morning, rushed home to pick Mr Bee up and then on to Rachel, for a walk in the woods. A good catch up was needed, especially as she now has a little one on board which is extremely exciting. Rachel is the lovely lady who will be photographing the wedding, so it was yet another day full of wedding ideas!

 

Then it was time to drop Mr Bee off at home before collecting some goodies for a girly night in at Becka's new flat! A delicious dinner, lots and lots of laughs, raiding the lace and jewellery collection and a quick swim before we were invaded by 'the splasher' and 'Mel C'. 

And now for a relaxing weekend at home with the boys. Aaaaaah!

Saturday Stroll

Every visit is entirely different from the last, yet we never manage to get lost in our favourite walking spot.

We're Going on a Leaf Hunt

At request of the small, buzzy one, we took a walk through our favourite woods. Autumn never fails to astound me with its beauty.
As we walked, we collected fallen leaves. Big ones, little ones, brown ones, yellow ones.
We sang, we jumped, we got muddy, we laughed.
He has the best ideas.

We came home to make collages with our leaves, checking the species in our Tree book. Glitter added that finishing touch.

I hope to hang them on his wall whilst he sleeps, he will love the surprise when he wakes in the morning.

Wayward

Papa returned to us for just one day this week. He decided that we should go for a walk in Swithland Woods, however we seemed to get off the woodland track and into some fields! We made friends with a family of Shetland Ponies, climbed stiles, got lost, and had to carry tired legs back to the car.
