Father and Son

We are taking full advantage of the glorious weather we are having.

Today we set off to explore Folkestone Warren. A stunning walk along the beach to a climb up and along the top of the cliffs.

Making Memories

Planning adventures makes me happy, they don’t have to be big or expensive just something that I will remember.

I remember building sandcastles and dams with the children in the middle of winter on the beach. One particular occasion a gentleman came over and said ‘it’s so lovely to see a family enjoying the beach at this time of year’.

Think out of the box when it comes to planning your adventures as it’s not always the normal that brings the best memories.

Sunday Stroll

Here I have stood and here I shall still stand.

On my evening walk I came across this amazing tree. It has seen so many things that it cannot tell. It has fought through many weather conditions. And yet it still stands.

We face many things during our lifetime and often we forget how far we have come.

Bedgebury Pinetum

Walking through the weekend…

Bedgebury Pinetum is a great place to take the family. There are paths for all abilities and you can walk or cycle.

With over 12,000 trees it’s a wonderful place to explore.

Parking is plentiful and is a set daily rate, although there is an early bird rate if you arrive early and leave before 11am.

You can hire bikes, walk the tree tops at Go Ape, find the Gruffalo sculptures, play on the play park equipment and more.

You can take your own picnic to enjoy or visit the onsite cafe.

Richmond Park London

Exploring Richmond Park with the family.

It’s unbelievable really that it’s only 10 miles Central London and covers 2500 acres.

This week I have been stepping up how much I walk and exercise to get into a steady routine built into my everyday life. I want to be as fit and as focused as I possibly can for my trek up Kilimanjaro for Child Bereavement UK.

Truth be told I have been frightened of days like this ‘family days’ and being happy. It was after a family morning out that my husband got ‘the call’ the one thing you never want to have ‘there’s been a car accident and Asten’s been airlifted to hospital’. Even at that moment I never thought it was going to be as bad as it turned out. Since then whilst we have days out I am always worried about being too happy of letting myself be completely relaxed. But I am getting there knowing that I cannot change what happened and I can live my life with those still around me making the days we have as happy as I can. This is the unseen mental health journey of grief. To make a donation to my trek for Child Bereavement UK please donate here.

Parking was free and plentiful today at Roehampton Gate. We picked this gate as bikes could be hired here. Perfect place to explore safely with the family.
