Sundays, since we have returned from Honeymoon, have been blissful; they are filled with lazy breakfasts (well, as lazy as one can be with a Toddler), snuggly clothes and Autumnal adventures. The evenings involve early baths, hearty meals and Downton Abbey, curled up on the sofa with my husband. I couldn’t really wish for much else.
We have been making the most of our last Autumn in Sussex. I’ve written before about my love for Autumn, and Sussex in Autumn is a beautiful thing; the stormy, wild waves on Brighton Beach, the warm glow of the sun on your face while sitting in a yellow, orange and red scattered park in leafy Lewes, splish-sploshing through puddles on one of our Sunday walks around a beautiful local National Trust property.
It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to Lewes; it’s a gorgeous town full to the brim with lovely people, and has a fantastic, eclectic atmosphere. I think we’re spoiled here with everything it has to offer (other than our disgustingly expensive and horridly damp house).
I’ve written about The Paddock before; it’s one of our favourite places to take Busby for a run about. A few Sundays ago it was a brilliant, sunny, crisp Autumnal Sunday and we headed to The Paddock for an impromptu picnic and explore.
I discovered a leaf-covered slope in The Paddock, and we spent a good hour making piles, jumping in them and throwing them in the air.
It has entered the “favourite Lewes memories” part of my mind now, and I feel so fortunate to have this blog to document our gorgeous family afternoon.

Nothing beats jumping around in piles of crispy leaves. Busby looks like she’s having a whale of a time#letkidsbekids

She had a seriously fun time! 🙂 xx
Your Sundays sound perfect! I love a NT property followed by something a it less serene than Downton Abbey – I’m a Homeland girl! Your Autumn pictures capture the season perfectly 🙂

Ah – I need to start watching Homeland – it’s supposed to be fantastic 🙂 xx
The third photo – full of joy 🙂 Looks like you had a lovely time. I love Autumn when it’s dry – crisp leaves are so much fun to play in!
We dis this yesterday! Ours is a small patch of land with few leaves and its fun already. I can only imagine more leaves and more space =) #countrykids
we are big fans of autumn leaves too. You have some lovely photos and memories.
What a lovely afternoon, it’ll be a good way to remember Lewes rather than the horrible house. I love the leaf throwing photos, Busby looks so happy to be out in nature. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
Aw what a lovely time it looks in all those beautiful leaves. Lovely pics!
