Orford Countryside
There’s nothing better than jumping in muddy puddles, especially when Imogen has chosen the clothes she wants to wear which include a skirt that got soaked in water!
Exploring the fields in the surrounding Orford countryside.
Discovering a row of hay bales, perfect for climbing on…
Finding a small branch of green leaves under a large tree.
It’s the simple things in life that bring so much pleasure. We just love being surrounded by nature and getting out into the great outdoors. And then cosying up back at home.
Orford Quay
Orford Quay in Suffolk is home to boats, birds, fish and the local fishermen who venture out each day to catch a variety of fresh seafood which is sold locally. We went for a morning walk and stopped by the water to see how far we could throw little stones in.
The tide was high and the water reached over the footpath that meandered around the shore so we played on the beach that we could access. Imogen throws pebbles in.
Imogen wanted to wear her water shoes so she could go for a swim. After some convincing and dipping her hands in the water even she conceded it was too cold!

Time to warm up with a babyccino at the cafe on the waterfront.
Linking up with the AWARD winning Fiona from Coombe Mill for outdoor Country Kids fun.
Off to the Park
A week away in the countryside is just what we all needed. A break from work, an escape from the Big Smoke in new surroundings with lush green fields and forests.
We ventured out to find the local playground on a beautiful sunny autumn day.
Imogen told me she wants to go on the swings, slide and the seesaw!
The slide is very high so Daddy is called upon to provide support.
