Taking a break

Yesterday was a beautiful, clear skies, sun shining, so I took the kids (plus nieces) out for a ramble, It was only supposed to be 1 3/4 miles instead I took an unexpected detour and we walked nearer to 5. I ended up leaving my Mum and the boys at a pub with a g&t whilst the girls and I rambled or rather hiked back to get the car!

We went through fields


through the Big Woods


over stiles


through kissing gates



and marvelled at the British wildlife!
We took the Darwin Trail in Downe Valley and spied the house he lived in through the woods but couldn't find the entrance ! So that will be another adventure but maybe without the walking. The kids were very good and then slept all the way home.
Now back to studying, at least its sunny today and they can run around outside.

  4. What a wonderful ramble! Sounds like a wonderful day all around. It's nice seeing the sunshine, even through photos... we've been inundated with rain for 2 weeks or more now. What happened to Spring?

    I had a wonderful trip through your photos!
