if you go down to the woods today.......

Em and I wrapped up warm and headed over to our favourite woodlands for an explore, a good use of a dry and bright-ish day. We found catkins and bluebells beginning to poke through the carpet of autumns old leaves. We heard a woodpecker, saw the blue flash of a Jay flying past and found a city of fairy houses. The most exciting moment was when we spied the den through the trees as we stepped our way along limestone pavement stepping stones. We built ourselves a fire, found a couple of toasting sticks and got ourselves a meal of marshmallows and sausages before we turned in for the night. Sadly only pretend play, this time!
