Welcome to Country Kids, the outdoor family linky co-hosted by Louise from Little Hearts Big Love and Helena from Queen of Collage and me at Kids of the Wild. We’ve taken over Country Kids from Coombe Mill Farm’s Fiona and hope to maintain this lovely community of outdoor family bloggers to share activities and inspiration and help get you and the kids outdoors more.

This Week at Kids of the Wild
We seem to have gone a bit French this week, with a post about a beautiful piece of nature artwork being offered free to schools. It was drawn by a French illustrator just before he had a stroke robbing him of his ability to draw. Read the moving story in Bernard Tardieu’s Creation Poster
My post in this week’s linky is also French-themed, about our family exploration to the wreck of a French steam trawler near where we live in Northumberland. Click below to read more.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month so I’ll be posting lots about our cancer journey as well as health suggestions for kids with cancer and the benefits of getting outdoors despite serious illness. Why not follow me on Facebook or sign up via email to make sure you don’t miss any good stuff!
There are lots of fab family and children’s reviews over on the blog too including a great back-to-school winter coat.
