clambering up forts,
rolling down hills,
paddling in rivers,
swimming to hidden coves,
smelling of campfire smoke,
tasting delicious treats,
sleeping under the stars
and waking with adventure on your mind

How stunning is this autumn we are having!! These beauties were everywhere at Ashridge on Saturday. We had a lovely walk, ending with us getting lost and then drenched - nothing a peanut butter brownie didn’t sort out afterwards ☔️ 🧁
This is the face I got when I picked the boys up from school today, after I sent them off in non uniform a week early and they then had to wear their pe kits all day 😳! Beau was devastated, Noah was more rational and said the funniest thing about it was that I was so pleased with myself this morning for remembering 😂. The worst thing however was that I also past my false information on to another mum who sent her son in with no uniform too 😞😞. Sorry @amybills The take home message here is never ever listen to anything I ever say - it’s all nonsense! - FAIL
Does anyone else get looks like this from strangers when they are out? For some reason my three boys wrestling seem to generate glances like these...😂. I love that I captured this fella so perfectly though.
Picking every last apple for juicing. 17 litres done and hopefully the same again after this batch mmmmm 🍎 🍏 . For every one he successfully gets with the picker about six tumble down around us 😳....but it’s worth it for the look on his happy face when he gets one 😍😍 x
Look at me all sultry out shopping with the kids - probably just grumpy 😂. I love these unexpected shots you find on your phone curtesy of your children (I haven’t added the ones where I look really grumpy 😡). I am shopping for a glamorak - something that doesn’t make me look like a granny rambler but does keep me warm and dry in the middle of winter in a van - the search continues!
It’s funny the pictures you are drawn to. I was scrolling through all the pictures I have from our trip to Belgium, all the kid pics, the canals, the food, the views and I think my favourite picture is this one of a red door in Bruges 😂...it is a rather beautiful door though x
Dear @eurostar cleaning staff, I am writing this to wholeheartedly apologise for making your life more difficult on Sunday evening. I travelled home on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Sunday evening after saying goodbye to my husband who is working abroad. I then proceeded to board the Eurostar on my own with my three young children in tow. As we pulled into St Pancras one of my children suddenly announced he didn’t feel well and darted off through the carriage. I didn’t know what to do - I still had my luggage and two other small children to look after so I watched him disappear off. He wove through all the passengers who were now standing and queuing readying to leave. He didn’t have the courage or size to get through quick enough and then proceeded to throw up on the floor in the toilet cubicle. He skulked back to me upset and covered in sick. He then proceeded (much to the horror of the other passengers) to be sick again twice on the floor. He was now mortified and I was panic stricken about what to do – everyone was looking traumatised and my son was as pale as a ghost. I am sorry to say I left the sick, I didn’t have anything to clear it up with. I tried to find someone to tell but I couldn’t see anyone. I then scooped up all our belongings, all three little ones and left for our onward journey. I know that this isn’t going to change anything and that you still had to clear up my child’s sick. That is a parent’s job and I didn’t do it, for that I am very sorry. I also wasn’t able to apologise in person to you and explain which I imagine made the task worse. I have tried to learn from this experience, I will not again foolishly think that I can just take 3 young boys away on my own and it will all just be ok. I will also not let my children eat as many chips and waffles as they did in Belgium! Yours apologetically, Em Wild
All the chocolates....too much as it turns out - Noah threw up on the Eurostar on the way home 🤮. Just what you need when you are on your own with three kids 😳😳😳 x
