Holiday walking - part 2





Somewhat later than planned..........I thought I'd share another wonderful walk from our half-term. This one is a 'proper' walk with a defined route, car park and even other people. But Pressmennan Wood, despite being relatively busy (and I guess it is relative as we only passed around 5 other families in over an hour of walking), is such a great spot. The Woodland Trust has installed little carvings and windows and doors in some of the trees - the tree houses are home to Glingblobs and Tootflits. It really keeps the children's interest and the carvings are so well done and low key that they don't intrude too much into the woodland.







I started spotting some signs that Spring is on it's way. Great tits singing, lots of catkins and honeysuckle leaves stirring.







We have a gorgeous sunny day here today. Perfect. I do hope it's so lovely with you too. I'll be back soon, hopefully, with some evidence of real sewing. I've finally managed to be a bit more productive in the last few days - still only small bits but getting there.

Lovely to see Spring is on the way, your woodland walk looks fun, I like the idea of the tree houses. It was very quiet with the children back at school today xx

Maria - it always feels strange when they go back doesn't it? Juliex

Julie said...

Lynz - ooh, I like the sound of that! Thanks very much. Will check out what you've awarded me - mind you perhaps I should have checked before saying thanks! Juliex

A wonderful woodland walk. I would have been thrilled to find the 'open me' door! x

Julie said...

Simone - the door is near the beginning and holds maps for the trails. It's impossible to resist opening it even tho' we don't need a map! Juliex

I looks lovely, I especially like the little doors and windows, what a great idea! We finally have a little sun today but it's still very chilly, might even brave the (bit too long) walk to school for pick-up today :)
