Nature

As shared previously, my little one loves anything to do with leaves, insects, soil, trees. Here is a photograph of her looking outside of a basketball court in the park in order to pick leaves from a nearby tree; I have learned to check her pockets before I set the laundry!

We recently needed to go and buy some things from the town centre for my eldest daughter whilst she was at school, and we haven’t been there since last year as I have been buying everything we have needed online! My little one asked me ‘Why are there no trees here?’ and I had to explain that we were in town.

I realised how much we have spent time outside in parks, in the countryside, going for walks and now I know how restrictive the town centre felt. We live in the city for all of its conveniences but I realised that I didn’t miss town. I loved buying clothes, dressing up the children, buying my own especially workwear and office wear but the casual wear to the park has been fine and I now have more trainers than shoes! We have had a lovely morning in the park whilst my eldest was at school and it is nice to see her so free!
