Over the last few weeks we have been on lots of cool adventures. Sometimes the simple things in life can be great fun too.
Once a week we have been visiting my Mum and Dad. It is always a fun day for the children visiting Grandma and Grandad.
A typical day out would start with walking over a mile to the train station. A 10 minute train ride. Then a 2 mile walk/run to Gran’s house.
We always take Mollie the puppy along with us too, she doesn’t like missing out!
It ends up being about a 6-7 mile round trip, running and walking. It get my exercise in for the day, that’s for sure!
The children love to play games with Grandad. Mollie sleeps and I love to take lots of pictures in their garden.
They have lots of flowers, fruit and vegetables growing. With two big apple trees in the middle of the lawn. One tree with eating apples and one with cooking apples. Yummy..
Every year there are enough to go round the whole family. It will soon be apple pie time again!
There are plenty of Bees around spreading their pollen. They never seem to have a Bee shortage on their garden. Every year one of us jumps out of our skin, when a Bee lands on us!! We never harm them though!
Green Beans anyone?
Another favourite are the Butterfly’s. Tough to get a photo of, that’s for sure.
Rhubarb looks nearly ready.
A lovely pink rose.
Plums looking a bit green yet.
Beautiful shots, Claire. At the end of Winter, we are looking forward to some fine weather now, Downunder.Many thanks for taking part in the in the Friday Greens meme.
What lovely late summer pictures – I am jealous you have plums – we have none for the second year in a row but I have found a few damsons. #HDYGG
