A boy in a cave - with excellent layers visible in the limestone. The #causewaycoastalroute has many of these hidden wonders. White Park Bay is one of my favourite beaches and if you time it right you get to see the resident cows on the beach. We didn’t time it right today, but as Mr 6 was delighted to point out there was plenty evidence of cow poo on the beach. The cows were hiding back up the fields.
🐮 🏖
What’s your favourite beach and what’s the most interesting wildlife you’ve met there?

Near the start or the end (depending which way you go) of the #causewaycoastalroute we went on our first visit to Fairhead outside Ballycastle and what a beauty. Spectacular views of Rathlin and the Mull of Kintyre from these 200m high dolerite cliffs. Also a filming location for Game of Thrones! Climbing wooden styles, wandering through fields of cows and sheep, two Loughs near the cliff edge and keep an eye out for the birds of prey! The cliff edges have no fence so ensure little people are close as it’s super windy up there!

It’s the summer of staycation! We are planning to explore as much of our beautiful island of Ireland as we can. This week we are hitting the incredible #causewaycoastalroute - plans for plenty of surfing, walking and ice cream. The scenery is spectacular, and the myths and legends hold little people in awe. Have you ever been to the Giants Causeway?

What a place for our first adventure since lockdow

What a place for our first adventure since lockdown started. To the dark skies in Mid Ulster to stay @sperrinview Incredible designed glamping pods, facing towards the sky for night time star viewing. 💫 Sleeps 5, beautiful design, private bathroom. Perfect for this years covid careful staycation! Check out our stories for all the details. Only thing - too cloudy for stars. We will have to come back!

What a day! First day we have got a bit further than right on our doorstep in quite a while. On day 77 of lockdown back to @nationaltrustbelfast Divis and Black Mountain. Perfect way to test out the new Fitbit belonging to Miss (now) 8 (birthday was on Thursday). A 5 mile hike, followed by a 3.5 mile cycle. The little legs were tired! We’ve been busy - work, home school, birthday and life generally. But we are back. How are you embracing this incredible weather? ☀️

We’ve been a little missing in action during all

We’ve been a little missing in action during all this! It’s been busy, stressful, strange but we’ve been trying hard to spend as much time in the outdoors with nature as possible. Discovering lots of places we have never explored right on our doorstep. Travelling local has been fun! What have you discovered during this lockdown?

Schools are gone (or going) by the end of the week

Schools are gone (or going) by the end of the week. 🏫 Whether your child likes or hates school this is a big change. They are likely to have a reaction- maybe more irritable, maybe upset. Encourage them to talk about it, and just listen. It’s also stressful for many parents- can you work? Juggling work from home is not easy. How do you get childcare? Filter a little what you say - they need to know that the adults will manage this and they are safe. 💙 💚 💛 💜 Tonight a little self care, for you and your little ones. Stop, breathe, eat something comforting, have a bath, tomorrow you can make a plan. How are you taking care of yourself tonight? #morethansurvive2020

Let’s do more than survive this, let’s find a way to thrive. We need our kids (and our own) mental health and emotional wellbeing to be supported through this. There’s lots of chat about home schooling and yes education is important but we need to help them develop the resilience they will need going forward. Children’s mental health is vital for now and for the future. It’s something I’m passionate about (and my day job is a children’s mental health practitioner) and is a big part of why we started our #screenfreeadventures I’m going to share some tips and ideas on how we promote positive mental health over the uncertain times ahead, please join in, share your ideas and together we can #morethansurvive2020

These relaxed happy faces in the sun feels like it

These relaxed happy faces in the sun feels like it was in a different world. I’m so thankful we made it South Africa before the world went crazy. We’ve been quiet, due to working in the NHS and all the planning going on. So much for a better work life balance after my trip!
We plan to continue to share our South Africa adventures, but also some suggestions and ideas on how to support our kids to navigate these days and have some screen free adventures much much more locally! How do you plan to adjust to life over the next while?
