This morning we went for a walk and a picnic to Holt Heath, which is near Colehill and Granny and Grandads house. We had a 3 1/2 mile walk we wanted to do from our Dorset walks book, but realised our book is 15 years old so the Silver birch trees we were looking for as a point of reference had probably turned into triffids or been chopped down! Scott managed to find our bearings and we did the walk with a really good picnic in the middle.
Oliver's picture of a cobweb covered in water from the nighttime rainfall. He was quite taken by it.
A happy photo just before Oliver's shorts got stuck and the branch snapped. No major injuries but a few grazes.
Going back for more and showing his siblings how to do the same!
The rest of the day finished with a chance drive past Granny and Grandads who were in, so a cup of tea with them turned into a fantastic afternoon of blackberry picking, playing in the garden and a delicious four-course dinner in the garden. Unfortunately the camera stayed in its case as the good food and wine were calling too loudly for us to bother getting the camera out!
