Wasn't it fabulous to see the sun today?
And the lighter evening meant that we were able to make the most of the sun after school for once. The girls and I headed off to search for signs of Spring and woodland treasure.
It was good coming here while the trees were still bare, as the girls were allowed a lot of freedom to run off, without me panicking about losing them behind the foliage. In a few weeks' time this woodland will be carpeted with a sea of nodding bluebells- I can't wait!
In a clearing we found the most exciting hide-out. The girls must have played in it for the best part of an hour, before we all got a bit chilly and decided to go home. I promised them we can come back soon and check it's still there.
I hope the nicer weather carries on into the weekend- it's amazing how a bit of fresh air and exercise can lift one's spirits.
I want to also say welcome to all my lovely new followers- it's so exciting to see so many friendly new faces. I promise to pop by your blogs very soon if I haven't already. xx
That looks like Proper Good Fun! With muddy fingers 'n' all. Love the accessorising blue patterns on Flora and Purl's tops and boots too.
ReplyDeleteoops, sorry - Flora and Pearl's top and boots!
ReplyDeleteThanks Trashsparkle it was super dooper fun! And don't worry about spelling P's name wrong, it's happened lots since I started the blog and it makes me chuckle- I do like my knitting, but not enough to name my children after it! x
