The weather has been so beautiful the last 2 weeks and Jenson and I have been making the most of the sunny autumnal days and going for lots of walks and trips to the park while Burton has been at school. We have been wall walking, tree climbing, leaf throwing, feeding the birds, visiting the playground and catching, going on nature hunts and finding squirrels and a hungry caterpillar and (more!) conkers! And enjoying the amazing countryside in which we live. A place I take for granted most of the time, but when I walk through the park on days like we have had this past fortnight, it almost takes my breath away when I see the blue skies, big fluffy white clouds and their clear reflections on the river beneath them.
Just stunning, and I have been able to share them with my boy (and his monkey, of course!).
It has been lovelty spending some time with just Jenson and he has really enjoyed our little trips out together. I feel sorry for Burton that he is stuck in school while his brother and I are out in such glorious fresh air, but we have been going to the park next to his school at home time so he gets to have some playtime outdoors with Jenson and his school friends before we head home for homework and tea.
Long may this weather last ………. although rain is forecast for the next few days!

As sad as it is that Burton is missing out it must be lovely to spend such quality time with Jenson. The weather does look beautiful and it looks like you’ve had a great Autumn so far, I love the photo of him on the stile. xx

My! That is quite a list of outdoor fun. So sweet to see him sitting in the tree. You do live in a beautiful place. Hope the weather stays good.

Jenny you are at such a lovely stage with your boys. I remember like yesterday Alistair and Felix like this. Such precious times and so rewarding to be a Mum. A real flashback moment for me reading this, thank you!
Helen @ Peakle Pie
Sounds like a perfect Autumn walk – I love the caterpillar – what a fuzzy wuzzy!
Kriss MacDonald

Lovely photos, especially liking that caterpillar and the ones of Jenson up a tree. Great to be making the most of your time together.

Aww I love the one of Jensen climbing the fence – gorgeous! And how cool is the caterpillar?
Sara (@mumturnedmom)
Gorgeous photos. That caterpillar is fab! It must be lovely to get some quality one on one time with Jenson. It’s often so difficult to spend time alone with each child, and they get so much out it too. It looks like you have had amazing weather, great to be able to get out and make the most of it. Popping over from #CountryKids.

Oh Jenny look how big he is now.
It sounds, and looks, like you, Jenson and Monkey have had a great Autumn so far and you’re really making the most of your quality time together xx

I love how there always a little peak of Monkey in the photos with Jenson. It looks like you both had a really lovely time. He looks so happy in the tree 🙂

oops, apologies Jenny, I accidentally hit enter before I’d finished! I am finding it strange doing things with my youngest while her sister is in nursery, but it is kind of nice too, to have that one on one time with her. Jenson is really shooting up too and what an awesome caterpillar you both found x
Emily
Stunning photos as always looks like an amazing outdoors adventure! xx
