We’ve had some really fun UK days out this month and are a little sad that the cold really does seem to have set in. We enjoyed some lovely warm days in the Forest of Bowland and had a great winter walk including a family photo shoot too.
When I am exploring the UK 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. I’ve managed to find a couple of UK based photos from October.

Today I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I had things to do but I just couldn’t concentrate on them. It was a day to dance in the rain as the saying goes. The sun was shining and the sky was blue and it felt like a day to get out and about in the fresh air and let the wind rush through your hair. I’m not a great cyclist but we managed 18 miles today before I fell off my bike 🚲 less than 2 minutes before I got home! Thanks to @westkirbygrip @mummyhughes3 and @melchappell1 for the company and pep talk towards the end! #ukexplore #lovewirral #visitwirral #discoverwirral #visitwirral
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….
