265. Country Kids (We revisited Cefn Onn Park with my brother and his family. My niece and sister-in-law had never been there before and were amazed by it. The children have such great fun together, as soon as we arrived they headed up a tree, closely followed by walking up the stream. They get on so well together, it's really heart-warming to see the next generation together.)
266. Conkers (This week I've been making the effort to set up a play opportunity for The Boy after school, he enjoyed last week's invitation to play so much, and it gave us that quality time together.)
267. Tiddlywinks (On Saturday The Boy begged me to buy some tiddlywinks, we trawled the toy shops to no avail and so I had to order them from Amazon. He was over the moon when they arrived today and he could play them.)
268. Squidgy (He absolutely loved sorting out these pom-poms using the tray and large tweezers. Better still was squeaking them in his ear!)
269. Up (Another invitation to play for The Boy, I was taking an overhead shot and meant to get it of the table but accidentally snapped my son instead. Rather glad I did now!)
270. Swing (The only photo this week taken on my phone, more importantly the only one not taken on manual! We had to battle spiders' webs to get to the garden, I hate this time of year for that!)
271. Bare (We went into Cardiff today to buy some Autumn/Winter boots for The Boy, and called into the Cardiff Country Fayre afterwards. I'd debated trying to get some press tickets earlier in the week for it, but decided in the end that I didn't have time for a blog-post so we paid. I'm rather pleased we came to that conclusion as I'd struggle with a post on an event which isn't really our type of thing. The Boy enjoyed climbing on the tractors and seeing the animals, but we ended up spending 45 minutes looking for conkers instead!)

love the tongue sticking out. we use to play tiddlywinks with buttons and breakfast bowls.
Love your niece's hair. Bob would love the tractors.
Aaahh that's a beautiful picture of the Cousins together. You have been busy and the boy just seems to have grown up so much lately, love the little tongue sticking out when he concentrates, poppy does that too x
Lovely photos. Love the photo of him with his construction hat on!
Love the photos this week so much, my favourite is the first one. It's so beautiful to see cousins getting along so well and enjoying family time.
Loving the tongue of concentration
What?! Manual every day. I am dead impressed. You are a star and the photos are awesome as a result (I love all the tongue action). I used Manual just one day in the photo I have linked up as it happens
I love that top shot – beautiful. Sticks and mucky, wet trousers – a good day in my book!!
I'd like z to play tiddlywinks when he's slightly older when he stops sneaking a taste of stuff :). Love the tractor photo with the Boy and his hard hat!
aw love that bottom shot in the yellow tractor!
A busy week with school too. I love that top photo, such fun in his face.
I absolutely love your invitations to play. It would solve a daily battle in our house where the kids come home, flop on the sofa and then argue about what to watch on the telly/dvd/wii/snack on. May have to give it a try. Any suggestions for something that a 3yo a 5yo and a 8yo would all be interested in?
i love the little tongue of concentration popping out to say hello 🙂
i love how he is investigating that conker and him sat on the yellow tractor. But it is his face – of sheer delight – sat next to his cousin which is my fav photo this week. lovely x
my goodness you have been so so busy i really love the photo of the boy in the tractor the colours a beautiful x
Love the tiddlywinks photo (and the tongue out in concentration!) Brings back memories does Tiddlywinks!
That picture of him on the tractor is adorable and he and your niece look as thick as thieves xxx
I love your after school activities shots – he's clearly enjoying them (and learning from them). Love the tractor shot.
Love all the photos this week, so much so I can't choose one to comment about! They are all wonderful 🙂
I agree about the spiders at this time of year. I take a long stick into the garden with me and swipe the webs away as I go!
Aww cousin love, so nice to see….sadly mine dont get to see their cousins much anymore.
gorgeous photos as usual
Loving the concentration on his face on the play ones, such a great idea too. Does he play on his own with them?
It's so lovely that you are still managing to do lots of lovely things even though the Boy is at school. The tiddlywinks photo is so lovely. L sticks his tongue out like that when he's concentrating too.
