Seven Days ..

A  bit late but as we have been away this weekend....

 

So many things happen in our busy lives that I want to hold on to and remember. Little things - things that might go unnoticed, or missed in the hurly burly. Nothing special and yet - oh - how completely special!

We had 7 days of enjoying the woods across the road, pumkin carving, discovering the love for the wooden train track, beautiful caravanning on the Plassey, watercolouring and so much more. I feel like we have done so much this week and there is so many more pictures yet!

Caravanning

Taken on my mobile, waking up autumn sunrises , fresh countryside air...got to love caravanning..

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

p.s. this weekend i will not be able to comment on anyone´s moment as we are about to hitch up the caravan for a Halloween weekend away!

Joining in with Ginny of small things

Still working on my scarf - but it´s nearly finished!!! It´s took me 3 weeks already! By now I can do the pattern  by heart and I am definitely getting faster , which is good as I have to do the exact same one again as a Christmas present for my MIL. At least it´ll be a different colour..
I am reading two very interesting books at the moment, Vanishing England was written in 1910 and is about the vanishing of the old traditional look of England caused by industrialisation. Thinking of what has happened since then is just simply mindblowing. I love reading this , as it gives a lovely insight to what life was like in my new homecountry.
Also reading timeless simplicity which is a good read too. Both books were charity shop finds for 50p each..

3 Generations..

 

Talacre Beach

Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny day and we went with the family to Prestatyn to watch Jamie´s uncle and granddad run a race along the coast!

After the race was finished we drove to Talacre Beach. Oh my, I didn´t know such a beautiful place was so so close to us (45 min drive).

It totally reminds me of the Island of Sylt in Germany where I used to spend many holidays as a child and teenager.
Jamie LOVED it - he was throwing pebbles in the water, collecting shells in his basket and watching dogs swim in the water. He really belongs to nature, this little boy!!

I am afraid there will be lots of pictures in this post!!!

My camera is totally playing me up at the moment, it doesn´t seem to work properly anymore..
Anyway, still workig on my gathered scarf , I am getting better at changing the needles and increasing and decreasing but obviously it takes some time..
Reading the Children´s year for some inspiration :)

Hodidays.....

No typo, Jamie calls it Hodidays...LOL
This weekend we had our probably last weekend away in the caravan. We went to our favourite ever campsite the Plassey , it´s only 40 minutes away yet it feels like your far far away!
It was raining when we arrived but it soon dried up!

Jamie loves the caravan, apart from nighttime. He simply doesn´t sleep well in it and we have tried it all. So it was a very nice surprise when on the second night he slept all the way from 6pm-8.30am the next morning. He didn´t even make a noise!!

We had such a lovely time, barbecues under a starry autumn sky, a few glasses of wine, a good laugh. Jamie has finally learned how to go down a slide without throwing himself back (he has a delay in motor skills) so he was very proud of himself.
My camera is totally playing up though!!!

Jamie loved running around the green grass, the park is amazing too and our caravan was right next to the park. There´s some lovely shops as well :)

On this field there´s usually lots of cows much to Jamie´s delight!

Isn´t this what makes for wonderful childhood memories?
