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

Family time

It's hard to believe that today is the children's first Monday of school since 2013!  Christmas and the New Year seem like a dim and distant memory, so I thought I would post a couple of snaps from the holidays before I get back to my stitching.  

If you look carefully at the following picture you can just make out a lake glinting behind the trees.  We are lucky enough to live within walking distance of a nature reserve, ancient woodland, river, lakes and a stunning English Heritage site with breathtaking ruins. 

The girls had each been given a 'crossbow' for Christmas and had a wonderful time ambushing their brothers.

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

Meeting these two might just give you that 'big surprise'!
