Sunday Country Sunday

January 18, 2015 By jbmumofone 23 Comments

One of our main aims when making the move to Devon was to try and live outside more.  Today was a chilly Sunday, but a sunny one none the less.  We decided to brave it, wrap up the kids and go and investigate some of the fields that we can see from our garden.

It is a pretty steep hill up to Highweek and Little Miss had been up half the night so we cheated and drove part way, dumped the car, and then headed out into the fields.

Highweek Stroll

The boys faffed about with some sticks, as they do, while Little Miss and I went exploring.  We discovered that not only could we see our house but we could also see right down the coast to Teignmouth and Shaldon.  Just beautiful.

Miss on a mission

 

She was on a mission and soon we had strayed somewhat further ahead than planned.

In the lead

 

Finally, we decided to let the boys catch up.

Then, despite the sunshine, we realised that we are not yet properly kitted out for the countryside in winter and none of us could feel our feet anymore.  It was time to head home, obviously stopping to climb the odd fallen tree on the way.

Climbing logs

In the car on the way home we discussed our lack of country attire.  I think Mr B could really work the country-gent style but he is still rather keen on more city-slick ways.  Yet, when we got home, he did go out and chop some logs for the fire tonight.

Perhaps this country life is rubbing off more than he thinks.

Hope you all had a lovely Sunday.

    Looks so beautiful! It is a struggle finding the enthusiasm for going out on a cold day, but always so worth it once you get outside!

      I know what you mean. I used to hate my folks dragging me out for walks in the cold and now I am doing exactly the same to my two.

    Looks like a beautiful walk and family time. Now, can we please have more photos of Mr B chopping logs please? 😉

      It is almost my favourite kind of weather…but perhaps just a few degrees warmer!

    So lovely to get outdoors and into the countryside. I love the photo of you and little miss peering out over the view.

      I hardly have any photos with me in them as I am always the one taking them so this is a rarity! I am not very photogenic either so am quite glad it is from behind 😉

    Hi,

    we live at the countryside and often have such walks. Perhaps next time I will take more pictures and share.

    Everything looks beautiful on your pictures, especially the cost nearby.

    Monday Pin It Party is great, isn’t it 🙂

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
