The one with the bluebells.
00:00This weekend it's been quite cold but I was determined we were going to go out for a walk because we're all fed up of being coped up indoors. We went for a wakl around our local woodland, which is only a few minutes walk away from our house. We are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.
It's -what I call- bluebell season. I only wish we'd have gone for our walk a few days sooner, as the bluebells are starting to die off now but they're still very pretty!
The kids loved the sea of purple flowers. It looks so pretty! I feel like pictures dothe floor of purple bluebells no justice. And let me tell you, they smell lovely in the woodland, too! We took some photographs and then headed deeper into the woods for our walk! We actually explored a part of the woods that I haven't been to since I was about eight years old (my daughters age!). The kids LOVED it. They love exploring and I love showing them where I use to play when I was a child. I have many memories in this woodland, going on walks with my siblings and dad. It's nice I get to make these memories with my own children.
Of course, it wouldn't be a walk in the woods without climbing a few old trees and exploring! My children love climbing trees, hehe.
We also walked down to the pond briefly. At this point we were hurrying on our way home because it was about to pour down with rain and Harry didn't take his coat (because teenagers know best and "I won't need my coat mum") Still I managed to snap a quick pic of the pond!
We had a lovely walk and I'm really hoping the weather warms up a bit soon! We got home just as it started to pour down with rain! Phew. Not that we mind rain, we actually quite like it, if only Harry had of taken his coat! I can't wait to show the kids more places I use to play as a child :)

ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and it's great that you have somewhere so beautiful so close. I grew up playing in the woods near my Grandma's and I can't wait to take the kids back there and explore when they're a little older. Lovely post. Thanks for sharing with #FartGlitter x

ReplyDeleteLooks like such a lovely place to have an adventure. The bluebells look lovely x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos (and family) I'm very lucky to have some naturally growing in the garden, needless to say they're fenced off now so they don't get trampled on by the kids!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning place, no wonder you like to go walking there. Striking beautiful photography too :)

ReplyDeleteLove your photos. This time of year is so magical once the bluebells come out. I also love taking Finn to the woods that I used to go as a child, it's very special being able to share these places. #whatevertheweather
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lovely walk! My little girl loves getting her wellies on and going for a woodland walk to see what we can find. I always find going for a wlak in the fresh air puts me in such a better mood! x
ReplyDeleteI love bluebell fields! I watched on TV that the British ones are dying out because the Spanish (I think) are taking over. X
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this time of year, when the bluebells come out. Your photos are lovely - shame about the graffiti, some people just don't have respect for anything x
ReplyDeleteShame about the graffiti but the woodlands looks lovely. Wished I lived near one so I can enjoy such lovely walks
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like truly wonderful woodland walk. How stunning are those bluebells! I'm actually a little jealous as although we have seen bluebells we have never smelt them. It's great to see other kids climbing trees too. So sad that some idiot graffitied that beautiful old tree. #pointshoot #countrykids
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful woods, the bluebells are wonderful right now, our woods is the same, I've been out there with the kids and the goat, seeing your photos I must take the camera with me next time. I do love it when the kids start to really explore and challenge each other to climb trees and enjoy nature. Shame about the graffiti, there is always someone who is disrespectful but glad it didn't spoil your day. I look forward to more from your childhood days. Thank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, looks like an amazing day out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Point + Shoot xx
Wow! Loads of beautiful photos and looks like you all had a great time. :) #countrykids
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great place to explore and lovely that your children can see where you used to play. It must have brought back so many memories visiting there and watching your kids climb trees, did you join in the tree climbing too? Thanks slouch for linking up to #Whatevertheweather :) x
