Just back from a fantastic few hours in Hakeford Woods with my two boys. The mission of the trip was to cook sausages and have hot chocolate in the woods (7yr old). The weather turned out to be fantastic, I'd even say that I felt hot at one point! With my two willing assistants we managed to complete the mission, built a fire, cooked sausages and marshmallows all whilst trying to build a den. I now know for certain that Ezra likes building and Louis likes cleaning. Today he was cleaning out all of the badger (or rabbit!) holes to make it nice and clean for them.
It was great to be able to spend a few hours just enjoying and playing in the woodland, the boys loved running about, exploring and getting to know the woods more intimately.
Spring is definitely on the way, the primroses are out, the catkins are on the hazel and willow and the bluebells are starting to push up in the woodland, I even saw what I think was a celandine in one of the meadows.
