Welcome to February’s second Country Kids, where you can find out what we’ve been up to at Kids of the Wild this week as well as joining in the outdoor linky co-hosted by Louise from Little Hearts Big Love, Helena from Queen of Collage and me here at Kids of the Wild.
NOTE FOR REGULAR READERS – #CountryKids is a bloggers community post, aimed mainly at fellow outdoor bloggers. A linky is where bloggers can promote their work – a collection of different bloggers’ writing in one place.
Outdoor family bloggers please click HERE or on ‘Inlinkz Link Party’ further down the page (see guidelines below) to add your blog post and find great reads by other bloggers.
At Kids of the Wild This Week
Not a very productive few days here due to a multi-day migraine so other than the fabulous children’s cancer charity walk launch we attended on Monday morning, we’ve done a couple of dog walks and that’s it. Good weather for hibernating, so we haven’t minded too much.
Spring is making her presence felt though, there are snowdrops everywhere. You can still read about the lovely Imbolc art and nature crafts we did the year Caroline’s cancer was diagnosed.
