If You Go Down To The Woods Today.....

Remember to tip-toe quietly - for this is where the fairies live of course....in their little tree houses with their little wooden doors...


....and their little staircases....


...but I don't think anyone's home today...



You never know what delights you will find in the forest. Over the Bank Holiday weekend we had an afternoon picnic - yummy food, sitting on green grass, meeting up with family, children having fun, - followed by the discovery of the secret fairy houses. Perfect!

(we picnicked at Cannock Chase - follow the sculpture trail through Birches Valley and you will find the fairy houses!)

Picking The Right Tree

Yes it was the Family Outing to select the perfect Christmas Tree. Wellies on, gloves on, then up to the Forestry Commission to peruse the vast rows of pine trees, spruce trees, fir trees - oh which one shall it be......



C'mon kids put your back into it....



Yes, this is the one...



Homeward bound...



Now all we need to do is decorate it....
