Boggarts Are Us

On one of the lovely days this week when my mum visited, we popped off to longshaw for a spot of outdoor time. Evan and I got stuck into dam building by redirecting the flow of the river. Whilst autumn explored with Momo the wonders around her in all its minutiae glory with the mini microscope.

Our Mini Forest School

We seem to have staked a claim on the spot in the woods behind our house. We have a 'making' tree, for our creative projects, and are looking at developing a seating area, inspired by the brilliant forest playgroup we've been going to. This afternoon we made a scaredy caterpillar of enormous proportions, a smiley face, a mini den, and a downhill slide complete with flags like in the downhill skiing! We attempted a large den, but the surrounding trees were not great at facilitating this, so we decided to do this elsewhere. The sun was shining, it was quite warm, and plenty of birds were singing. I feel so much gratitude for this wonderful afternoon, and all the wonderful things that have happened to make it so carefree, easy and so scrumptious with my very amazing children.
On returning home we let the guinea pigs have a play outside whilst autumn enjoyed the swing.
