AD - Look closely. Did you see the man stood in this picture of @hever_castle ??? He is there, honest, but he’s wearing a red coat so blends in a bit with the eerie way the castle is lit up.
Anyway, I’m a regular visitor to Hever Castle (the childhood home of Anne Boleyn in #Kent). I visited after school a few days ago with the kids because there’s a fantastic ‘Alice in a Winter Wonderland’ trail you can follow.
I was advised to go at twilight because the castle, grounds and the trail are lit up spectacularly well. It really is a sight to behold (more images including some long exposure photography are on the blog. See link in bio). If you are near Kent and looking for something to do with the kids, I recommend paying a visit. You might get a chance to meet Father Christmas and the Siberian Husky Welfare Association is paying a visit at weekends with some of the dogs it looks after.

Are you wearing a spangly, sparkly jumper to mark @savechildrenuk’s #ChristmasJumperDay ?? We may be part way through the day, but it’s not too late to donate or take part. I hope the following shopping list may inspire you: £1 will buy a set of pens and pencils to help a child write and learn £2 could pay for enough antibiotics for eight kids with pneumonia (one of the world’s biggest killer of children) £5 could buy a winter jacket for a child in Syria £20 could buy vital supplies for a new mother and baby.

Go take a look at the @savechildrenuk feed to find out how you can help.
Oh, and the message this year is to re-use or decorate an old jumper and reduce the impact on the environment. That bad-boy I’m wearing, I decorated that myself! Honest, I have witnesses from @hobbycraft who are backing the day and helped me out while I was using a glue gun!

Well this came as a surprise! A local paper put my recent win at the @Vuelio #OIAwards19 on the front page (see my grid for more, it’s all there). The headline of the article was an absolute classic. I just had to share it.

Question is, should I get this printed on a t-shirt???

AD - Helen engrosses herself with a copy of kids’ news magazine @theweekjunior There was a news story in this edition involving Harry Potter that she was particularly interested in.

As a former journalist, I have always encouraged my kids to show an interest in current affairs. I’m always amazed at the opinions they express and how considered their opinions are.
If you are still looking for a Christmas gift for a child between the age of eight and fourteen, there’s a special Christmas subscription deal available for The Week Junior.
Visit the blog and sign up (link in bio) and you will receive 19 issues for the price of 13.
That aside, do you talk to your kids about current affairs? Do you think it’s a good thing or do you steer away from such discussions?

Do you spend enough time in the great outdoors?

I’m very big on spending time outside. It’s health benefits are instantly apparent to me but over the past couple of months I’ve let myself down.

I’ve been active, using our gym equipment at home, but I’ve not been getting outside enough. Despite us having had several, glorious, sunny days, family life and work have conspired to keep me at home.

Not getting outside definitely impacts sleep quality and saps energy. I simply knew I wasn’t getting out enough.

Last week I rebelled. I took myself off on Friday to nearby woodland with my camera and did some photography. This is one of the pictures I took. It’s maybe not the best, but is was a lovely, crisp, winter’s day and I think you can see it in this landscape.
I’ve written more about this aspect of self care on the blog (link in bio) so please have a read. Feel free to also add a comment below, with your own thoughts on spending time outside.

How amazing is this? A frozen spider’s when I spotted between a fence post and a tree. It just looks so haunting and I love the detail. It’s so amazingly intricate.

The spider was nowhere to be seen though. Hopefully it was keeping warm elsewhere!
