A perfect Autumnal walk.
17:49I think everyone who has read my blog for a while will know that Autumn is my favourite time of year! I just love it. I wrote about reasons why I love Autumn in another blog post.
Today we decided we were going to go for an Autumnal walk through the woods. The woods is about a 5 minute (or less!) walk from our house so it's really convenient and an absolutely beautiful place! the kids just love climbing the trees (such a shame about the graffiti though!), we also came across a couple of rop swings which someone has tied to the trees! I remember when I was a kid and playing in these same woods. It's truly amazing to create new memories with my own children!
It wasn't really cold enough for a coat but light jackets and woolly jumpers were needed as it was quite chilly!
The sun actually made an appearance and made the woodland look so pretty! Ellie was all "It's so beautiful. I wish the weather was like this ALLLLL the time!" Bless her.
This tree is very, very old. One of the oldest tree's in Europe I do believe. It's absolutely beautiful, even though it's been struck by lightening more than a few times and has a whole history which is a blog post in itself! (I'll write about it one day). The kids love to climb it and it's a favourite with all the locals. My brothers, sisters and myself use to climb this tree when we were children! It hasn't changed a bit.
There's also some kind of mushroom/fungi growing around the bottom of the tree. We were careful not to touch it.
We also spotted lots of signs of Autumn. Mushrooms, toadstools and lots of leaves and acorns
What's your favourite thing about Autumn?

I adore everything about Autumn but my favourite part is probably kicking up leaves closely followed by hunting for conkers.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to spend some time outdoors. Lovely pictures and that old old tree looks absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have such a gorgeous place on your doorstop. Inlive autumn walks too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your autumnal walk was fun - and your kids are soooo cute! My daughter enjoys playing with the leaves in the woods in Autumn. Me? I'm the one usually asking to go home! 😬
ReplyDeleteI love going for Autumn walks, the leaves are just so pretty! Love Ellie's jumper too, super cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing looking place to go for a walk, I used to love walking through such places and seeing what I could spot. x
ReplyDeleteI love going for country walks in the autumn too, especially when I take my dogs along. What a beautiful area you visited.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful place for a family walk! I do love forest walks in the Autumn :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent tree! We also love Autumnal walks, we have some woods behind our house and often explore up there!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a beautiful place to walk and spend some time.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like the perfect walk. Doesn't everything seem like a fairytale in autumn do you think?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like super fun. We love woodland walks, especially in the autumn. We love to collect pine cones, acorns and conkers. #WhateverTheWeather
ReplyDeleteI love Autumn and walks out are the best x
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love everything about Autumn but if I had to choose I would say the colours of nature. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to do some autumn walks this season. My favourite season of all.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lovely time and it's great that you have woods so close to home!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my most favourite time of year too - we are on holiday at the moment in Menorca, and it feels funny having 25 degree heat here! Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - love this time of the year and agree with your daughter, I wish it was like this all the time! It looks like you had the perfect autumn evening.

ReplyDeleteLove a good autumnal walk - I can't wait for all the leaves to fall properly, so I can bribe the girls into letting me take some 'change-of-season' photos! x

Autumn walks are the best! Love that tree! Looks like something out of sleepy hollow! #CountryKids xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful autumn walk, oh and that tree is simply gorgeous!xx #countrykids
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! I love going for a walk in autumn. The leaves are on the floor, the smell. It's not too cold and you can enjoy it! It's lovely to see that the whole family can have a great time together in a place where yourself, you used to go with your sibbling! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Autumn - it's my favourite season too. I love cosying up infront of an open fire and reading a book. And walks to pubs through the leaves. The colours are amazing too. Looks like you had a great walk - where in the world are you? #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI am in North Essex (U.K). Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting :)
ReplyDeleteI love an autumnal walk and that tree looks great for climbing and exploring! Thanks for sharing #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteYep, big fans of kicking dried red leaves here too! Rainbowsaretoobeautiful #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI think autumn is a favourite season for many.I enjoy the cooler days, the foraging walks and a reason to get into my pj's as soon as the sun sets.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favourite time of year, I love the colours, the smells and the flavours. I wish we had such lovely woods on our doorstep! Looks like you all had a great time :-)
ReplyDeleteAh it looks like such a lovely, fun day out! My girls love autumn, crunching through the leaves and collecting conkers x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI just love this time of year, it's the best time of year! We have already been out on several conker hunts - I love big jumpers and wellies! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI love Autumn too especially for the colours of the trees, digging my warm winter boots back out and snuggly evenings in as it gets colder :)

I love the expectation that comes with this time of year. Lovely pictures huni. Thanks for linking up with #PointShoot x
ReplyDeleteThose polka dot wellies are amazing! But I am glad you had a lovely time, my husband hates wwalkig with me so we never go but I can't think of anything more pleasant, especially at this time of year! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely place for a walk, and what better time than Autumn to visit a woood, funggus, and falling leaves, its a great time.

Beautifu kiddos- this is my absolute favorite time of year to be outside with the kids :)

What an amazing place to go for a walk. Looks like a lovely autumnal day. I still can't get used to having no seasons here in San Francisco. I do miss those seasons sometimes, especially autumn days and that build up to Christmas. Lovely photos of your children. x
ReplyDeleteI do love a good autumn walk. How wonderful to have this just 5 minutes from home and those tree swings are always fun. We have one at the end of one of our farm woodland walks and the kids adore it, somehow it is more fun than the swings in the play areas! I hope you have many more autumn woodland walks like this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing on #CountryKids
Autumn is definitely a special season, with so many beautiful colours to see. It looks like you had a lovely walk with your 3 (they're getting rather grown up!) and I love that ancient tree. It really does look like it must have its own amazing story and think of what it has lived through! Thanks so much for linking up to #Whatevertheweather :) x
ReplyDeleteAutumn in the UK really is a fab time of year, love all of the autumnal colours. We are in Spain at the moment so it's still really hot and lovely sunshine. No need for anything warm yet, can't wait to get cosy layers on #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day out! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. They look like they are having lots of fun x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky having woodland right on your doorstep, what a fantastic place for kids to explore nature. I think my favourite thing about Autumn has to be conker hunting, we've got a pretty impressive collection right now! #ChasingNature
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I keep meaning to go for a walk in the woods but still haven't got round to doing it yet. I need to feel the crunch of the leaves before they're gone!
ReplyDeleteIf you're having trouble with the #ChasingNature badge, by the way, give me a shout! x
Oldest in Europe - how amazing!!! Fab pictures of a lovely day out. Thank you for joining in #HappyDaysLinky xx
ReplyDeleteI love autumn too, how amazing to have one of Europe's oldest trees so nearby! Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post and thank you very much for sharing it with us. The tree looks like it could tell a few stories, what a wonderful thing to have seen. It is lovely being able to enjoy places with your children that you enjoyed as a child. I also have to say that your children have the most incredible eyes.
