No Cost Simple Pleasures - Hill rolling

We took advantage of the free weekend at the National Trust and went to Fountains Abbey on Saturday with a picnic.

Is there anything much more fun than children rolling down hills?


My boys had so much fun, but it really upset me to hear a parent tell their child off for doing it as they would get mucky!

  3. Hill rolling has always been a great pastime from my own childhood and now our children's. As you say it's free and great fun. Children are meant to explore and have fun outdoors, and come back a little dirty and disheveled but with a happy smile on their faces! Thanks for linking your fun pictures to Country Kids.

  7. The dirty clothes are quickly sorted out with a washing machine load but memories remain. :D These are the type of things we remember for years to come. Do you remember that day when we went out and we rolled down the hill?? etc, etc.. :D and just by bringing back the thought we experience the same feeling again! This cannot be replaced or at least that's the way I see happiness..

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourers, cloths, duster and bag grips Dishmatic Dishmatic Refills x
