Walking in the rain ..

 

We knew the weather forecast for Saturday was rain, but we really needed to just get somewhere and walk.  So we packed a picnic regardless, and set off for Dartmoor with raincoats and wellies in the boot of the car.  And here is where we stopped - Hembury Woods.

The rain seemed to get heavier just as we stepped out of the car, but we were determined none the less!  And as we walked through the woods, the trees sheltered us, and the surroundings were just beautiful.  So green and lush in the rain.

 
 

The kids loved it.   Getting wet, listening to the birds, and tramping in mud!

At one point we all stopped, closed our eyes and just listened with the raindrops on our faces. Magical.

 But we did eat the picnic in the car :)

Lots of trips out as its half term this week.  So rain or shine we shall be enjoying some freedom!

Have a great week everyone xx

Hi Nicky,

First of all let me say I am thrilled with your memory box project, sooooooo pretty. I am in mourning for Alys, (I adored the whole thing, her garden, the clothes, the music, heavenly!) so I was really chuffed to see that you tried the flower printing, I am going to have a go too!

Our woods are looking a little dry and depleted the bluebells are dying back so it was lovely to see the lush greens in your post.

Happy Bank Holiday Monday to you and yours,

It was miserable here over the weekend, but it's glorious today - although very few people in Scotland aree off for the Bank Holiday - typical!! Enjoy half term .... looking forward to seeing what adventures you get up to.

I'm hoping for less rain and more shine over half term, but it will just be nice not to have the morning rush.
