Country Kids from Coombe Mill

Frogspawn galore

Sometimes I am amazed by how many different activities the children can come up with on the farm. This week Theo and Jed found Frogspawn and were keen to show me. Round the lakes and down in the boggy sections of wood we discovered vast amounts. I think it is going to be the year of the Frog at Coombe Mill!

The boys had hours of fun with me in and out of the boggy sections, finding new stream sources, frogspawn clumps and of cause welly sinking patches!

Children should be spending more time doing things like this rather than being stuck in front of a tv.  I am due to have my sixth baby soon and love spending time outdoors with my children.

Thanks Sarah, looking forward to the muddy pics, I expect they will be amazing knowing you! I will have to keep an eye on the frogspawn, there is so much we will be tripping over frogs!

I'm so envious of all that frog spawn. We had a stream near our house when I was young and we spent hours every day down there finding frog spawn and sticklebacks Laughing
I love taking the kids out and only wish we could do it more often.
