A Day in the Life of a Toddler: One Year and Counting

July 24, 2018

Went up Sutton Bank to see the White Horse of Kilb Went up Sutton Bank to see the White Horse of Kilburn. Don’t know why I never thought of coming up here with Reuben before. It’s not like I spent my whole childhood being overlooked by this landmark. 😄  Think we picked the best day of the half term to go up too. Sunny, autumnal and a little bit brisk. Such amazing views too, you can see for miles around from up on the bank top, stunning Yorkshire scenery no less. 🍂

Beamish. Pumpkins, queuing for chips and chips. 🎃 Walked loads. It was really quite cold but the sun shone. Perfect Autumn aesthetic. Wish we opted for pasties instead.

The clocks will be going back before we know it. 🍂 

Went to the deer park at Studley Royal (Ripon) at the weekend.  Rutting season’s coming so it sounds like Jurassic Park with the bellowing bucks and stags. 🦌 It was a really nice Autumnal day scented with sweet chestnuts and turning leaves; sunny with a cosy cardi on. ☺️
