The weather seems to have turned but Erin’s memory of summer hasn’t abated just yet. She recalls with delight the fun we had this summer and the many family outings we squeezed into our days. However it is the changing of the season and I am finding that the winter clothes are appearing I love the richness of Autumn colours and have really enjoyed our walks home from school. The walk is a short walk but takes Erin quite some time but I really believe it is good to get some fresh air and helps her relax and process the day on the way home. I have always found that walk home to be the time when you get the most out of what the children have been doing at school that day.
Autumn is also the time to make the most of those last few picnics and recently we were lucky enough to be sent some goodies from Brioche to enjoy. My children love brioche and it is a staple in our home. When the weather is not on our side and it is wet Erin still likes to have what she calls a picnic tea. This basically means a packed lunch on a plate in the lounge! She will often host tea parties with her teddy and this is why we decided on a Alice in Wonderland tea party for her birthday next month.
Her favourite tea party items would include Brioche, babybel, grapes and ham. Thankfully Erin is a fuss free eater and will happily try most things.
With half term coming up we are hoping to fit in a few more outside picnics before the dark nights draw in and it is dark by 4.30. what are your plans for half term?
