#CountryKids Snatching our outdoor moments

A combination of clock changes, wet weather and illness has curtailed our outdoor adventures over the last week or so. I am really missing being out in the fresh air with the children... Today I managed to squeeze in a few minutes with a walk through the village to school.

There weren't time to take photos but we managed to park up and walk the last 1/2 mile to school and still get there in plenty of time. The lucky thing is that the village is lovely safe place to walk to school in and we can do it whatever the weather:

In fact walking to school in the snow is the only option as my car can't get anywhere up the lane to school. It looks magically when it is completely white:

I just hope that we can have some proper outdoor adventures in the coming week and not just make do with a quick walk to school! How do you keep your children outdoors at this time of year when things aren't so easy?

Feeling good!

My Usborne adventure is slightly less nerve wracking after speaking to my new team leader Hilary. She seems very friendly and helpful (not surprising if she needs me to do well for her to do well!). This will require quite a bit of upfront investment as I realise I needed a decent colour laser printer to get all the bumpf printed off... My first event is set for 22nd November so let's hope it goes well and that I can do some more quickly. Need to do sales of at least £100 in 3 months to not get the boot. I will have to summon up the nerve to ask schools if I can do events for them. There seems to be a lot of help to do this....

It was great not having to do a school run this afternoon. Jackie picked up my daughter for me. Makes for a longer afternoon to get things done. Still think I need to get my shopping delivered as that is taking a valuable chunk out of my day!

I have stuck to the LL RTM plan almost to the letter today so feel good on that score too. I am determined to get as many aspects of my life back on track as possible.....

Better not stay up so late on the PC though as I got woken up at 3, 5 and 5:30 by my family in rotation...
