How can it be nearly time for school to start again. For most kids school will start again on Monday. We have a couple more days off, a birthday party and an adventure to take before mine go back, but what a Summer it has been.
It’s taken some keeping up with you this Summer as so many of you have been tagging your photos with #UKexplore and we have hit over 20,000 photos!!
We have had some wonderful UK adventures this Summer and in August itself we have been to the Lake District, the Just So Festival, spent time on the beach near our house and been on the Ferry Across the Mersey.
I tag all my UK days out photographs #UKexplore on Instagram and if you aren’t following me over there I’d love you to do so! You can also keep an eye on what we’ve been getting up to.
Just in case you aren’t aware what #UKexplore is, it is our Instagram community that we have invited you all to join in with and share your favourite places across the UK and your outdoor adventures. To join in it doesn’t have to be a photograph one of the 534 National Trust properties (although we do think they are amazing); we want to see your ‘off the beaten track’ spots, too. It could be the most marvellous of meadows, the perfect place for a picnic, the loveliest lake for skimming stones, or rambling routes for running along. Wherever and whenever you’re out exploring, simply take a snap and upload it to Instagram so we can all share in your adventures and explore the UK with you. All we ask is that you use the #UKexplore hashtag so we can find you. You don’t have to be a blogger, anyone can join in and be in with a chance to win. So without further ado, who have I chosen this month….
Some of my favourites from August are:
The dots and me Truly Madly Kids UK Topknotanddaisies
TheTwinklesMama Jtkb_photography StoppingatTwo
Fiveonhols WavetoMummy Anywaytostayathome
(Do click on their links if you would like to follow them on Instagram)
This month’s winner of the Day’s Family Pass to a National Trust property of their choice is Dancing Dandelions Blog
Why not head over to Charly’s page Podcast , to see her favourites too together with who she chose as her winner.
We look forward to seeing all your photographs next month and huge thanks to the National Trust for providing the prize.
