{The Ordinary Moments} #20 A New Tradition

This year I’ve fully embraced the blogger cliches – from bluebells, to the rapeseed fields and most recently visiting the Lavender Farm. Cotswold Lavender at Snowshill is about 45 minutes away from us, and I can’t believe we had not heard of it before. It is near to Cotswold Farm park where we visit at least once a year, and next year we will definitely make a day of it and do both.

Boondocks Festival July 2016

A selection of photos from the wonderful Boondocks Festival 2016 – an amazing weekend filled with friends, fun, face paint, flower crowns and food and drink – nearly all the F’s!!! This was the second year we had attended (we still didn’t brave camping!) but if you are local to Wiltshire, it is an amazing small, family festival, with designated kids areas, and the most AMAZING selection of food and drink. All three of my kids loved it again this year. We were lucky enough that my inlays baby sat for us on the Saturday evening, so we were able…
