These glorious #red rosehips were one of the first photos I took this magical October, and they have been patiently waiting for their prompt. Happy Day 22. #MagicOfOctober #rosehips #didimentionrosesmakemehappy
Day 21 of the #MagicOfOctober and the prompt is #taste. This is the anniversary cake my 10yo daughter made for us, and I can assure you the taste was utterly divine, and well worth every single calorie. #childhoodunplugged #letmeeatcake #anniversarycake #childrenwhobake
Day 20 of #MagicOfOctober and we set off #early to catch a train out to Kent for a country walk. Looking forward to some spectacular autumn colour, and then finishing up with a pub lunch. Really loving that the 4yo is now old enough to do a decent length walk. A six year age gap means it can be quite tricky to find family activities that please both ages, but this year going for a hike (can you call it a hike if it's 5 miles?!) has been a huge success with all of us. #childhoodunplugged #familytime #easylikesundaymorning
Day 19 of #MagicOfOctober and this is *almost* #dusk. My lovely urban village.
Day 18 of #MagicOfOctober and I am posting the least instagrammable #door in the history of Instagram. 😂 This is our back door tonight, about 20 minutes before bedtime, when 4yo decided she wanted to put on her raincoat, wellies and grab her frog umbrella so she could go in the garden in the rain. 🤷
#Up - today's post for #MagicOfOctober is my gorgeous big girl up in the trees on a rope swing a couple of weeks ago when we had a lovely day, just the two of us at @osterleynt . It was fab getting some quality 1-1 time with her, without "Mummy MummyMummyMummy" in my other ear, and we both love getting some time in green spaces. #mygirl #childhoodunplugged #beingten #nationaltrust
