As I said in a recent post Euan has been doing 3 swimming lessons a week so here’s a cycle route we’ve done recently, to use the hour while we’re waiting for him to finish. These pictures were taken near the start when we were going up the track beside Batchwood. It’s really really bumpy […]
Yesterday we visited a lavender field in Hitchin. It smelt very nice! It’s very pretty and is a good place to spend a couple of hours. It has its own ice cream, even with lavender flavoured (but I got chocolate)! TASTY! Arrangements, Costs and Getting There At the moment, because of the Pandemic, the lavender […]
Today we went to Hawkswick Lodge fruit farm to pick some strawberries. If you want to go check out my post about a walking route to get there. It’s really fun and I would recommend it as instead of going to the shops you can pick it fresh when it’s nice and tasty. It’s also […]
The “Discover the River Ver Project” by the Ver Valley Society created a series of short walks following the River Ver and exploring the surrounding countryside. As a family, we have been walking the routes, creating downloadable GPS maps, and I’ve been writing up the walks from a child’s point of view. We’ve now grouped […]
Recently, we decided to go on a walk with our friends. We chose this walk from the Ver Valley Society. It’s perfect for a warm day because there’s lots of shade and a few bits where you can go for a paddle. To make the walk more interesting my dad did some research around chalk […]
We were looking for a new cycle route to use and my mum found a St Albans Council Cycling map. We looked for any routes we may want to use and found this one. It’s a loop so you can start anywhere near you on the circle. We started at the Roman Museum at the […]
Yesterday we went on another walk. We’ve used it a few times and it’s got some interesting things you can see along the way. We started off at the St Michaels Memorial Hall on Branch Road in St Michael’s Village. From there, we towards Batchwood via Downedge. When you cross Batchwood Drive there is an […]
On a hot day, there’s nothing better to do than to have a water fight. We thought about it over lunch and just finished a great one. Fergus was up for it immediately and went and changed into his swimming shorts and goggles. Euan and me did likewise. Let the battle commence! I was clearly […]
At the start of lockdown, we were looking for stuff to do and saw our friends with an archery set. We had a few goes of it and it was really fun. Daddy also liked it and decided we should get our own set! When you get it it comes with a nice case which […]
