Cheryl also posted pictures of her feeding some chickens on the grounds of the country manor. 

Sharing the reel to Instagram, Cheryl wrote: ‘There’s really no place like the English countryside when the sun is shining, and as if it couldn’t get any better .. the northern lights even shone for us too… thank you Ben and Paul @thecountryhousediaries, it really couldn’t have been more perfect’.

Earlier this year, Bear’s dad Liam, 30, posted a rare snap of his son to Instagram sending his followers into a frenzy.

In the photo the singer obscured his son’s face as he showed the little one a billboard in London’s Leicester Square advertising his new single Teardrops. 

He captioned the adorable shot: ‘I want to be on a billboard one day daddy’.

Fans immediately rushed to the comments failing to believe just how quickly Bear had grown. 

In November Cheryl previously revealed Bear had realised that both of his parents are famous.

Speaking to British Vogue, she explained the youngster thinks it’s ‘pretty cool’ that his mum and dad are famous pop stars.

The singer described her weekend in the countryside  as ‘perfect’ in an accompanying caption 

Asked if her son might make an appearance on stage at some point during the tour, Cheryl said: ‘The problem is that I want Bear to have a normal childhood. 

‘I don’t want people recognising him on the street. But he’s twigged that I’m famous. The other day he said, “How lucky am I to have famous parents?”, I said “It doesn’t matter.” He goes: “Yeah. But it’s pretty cool.” ‘

Cheryl and Liam began dating in 2016, after her separation from ex-husband Jean Fernandez-Versini, after meeting when he was a contestant on The X Factor and she was a judge.

They then welcomed Bear in March 2017, before they announced they had split in July the following year.

Cheryl previously revealed she was considering using a sperm donor to have a second child but later decided against it.

She said her attitude changed post-pandemic and now that there would be a bigger age gap between her children.

She told MailOnline: ‘I was so hell bent on having another before because Bear was at that perfect age. I think if you have that couple year age gap, you can still do things with them together where they’re both engaged and both interested. 

‘Now that the pandemic happened in the in the meantime, and there’s such an age gap, and I’m a bit older. I’m not so sure, honestly.’

Yet she didn’t rule out other methods of caring for children, noting: ‘maybe adoption. I just love babies and children and I’d do anything to help or have another one around but it’s not as prevalent anymore.  

‘Also in the process of the pandemic I looked around at the world and thought this world is a bit crazy. Is it a sensible idea to bring a soul into all into this madness?’
