Day 13 #30DaysWild: The Stick Book
When planning for #30DaysWild and worrying about rainy days I took a couple of trips to two libraries ahead of the start of the month. On my second trip I was rewarded with finding a copy of The Stick Book: loads of things you can make or do with a stick by Jo...

After the success of our visit to The Doodle Dance Show last week, we headed back to the Lincoln Drill Hall this morning for another dance show designed for mini people. Toddler's Room by Norwegian company Dybwikdans is specifically for children aged 0-3 and required...
Doodles, dance and drama equals a delightful day

#30DaysWild Day 21 – A retreat into fiction
Today was predominated by attending a school selection appeal for our eldest and then me rather maturely sulking about the situation. At the exact time I could have done with the medicinal properties of losing yourself in the wild I chose to hide away inside instead....

#30DaysWild Day 19 – It’s just too hot!
When the sun makes the slides in the park too hot to use it's just not fun anymore. So, as out outdoor efforts were curtailed today, here are some facts about the Sun (which I keep reminding myself that all life on earth is dependent on) that I've just learnt courtesy...
#30DaysWild Day 18 – Thirst quenching
