on sunday we went for lunch at Mr HPMcQ’s aunts house. she lives just a hop skip and a jump away from us. the sun had been shinning all weekend and we were busting to get out in the spring air. after filling our bellies full of roast chicken with all the bits and bobs that go with and filling that last little gap with a generous slice of berry pavlova we headed to the woods for a squelch and a potter in the woods, petts wood.
petts wood, acquired its name from a family of shipbuilders who were called pett and this was their wood. this is where they acquired wood to build their ships. quite simple really. the woods was donated to the national trust in 1927.
in we go!
ronnie was taking the lead but not before he showed us some of his ninja moves
Mr HPMcQ teased ronnie that the last one across the log would get thrown in the steam
the boys hid in the trees, can you spot them?
whilstย i got stuck in the mud looking for them
ronnie practiced balancing using a very zen approach
running down a hidden tracks and then out into the open fields full of sunlight from the setting evening sun
one last game of pooh sticks before we headed home
hello spring
Ah it looks so nice there. Did you see any bears in the woods? ๐
yes a big fat stinky daddy bear!
What a wonderful outing – love the pics (as per usual)! Just as well you took your wellies ๐ x
those wellies are a permanent fixture in the boot of the car, you just never know!
One of the advantages to driving ๐ Less practical to stick in the handbag for trips out on public transport!
Spotted the Hunters Wellies. Am after a pair. Am liking your historical insight posts – your photos and boys, beautiful as always ๐
but was i wearing the right colour? he he x
A lovely looking day out with that beautiful sunshine and clear blue skies. Who could fail to enjoy a walk like that. Loving the Ninja look! Great Country Kids link up.
Not bad for city dudes?!
Looks like a great day out

Beautiful photos. Looks like a great time exploring too!
we had a lovely afternoon x
So nice to be getting outside in the fresh air. And everyone’s photos look so beautiful as well.
yes finally!
That looks a gorgeous Spring outing. That mud looks very tempting to roll in may I just say! The hiding in the trees was very well done. Here’s to many more sunny days and Spring outings.
i think the mud would have been a touch cold!
That looks fabulous! Love the ninja moves and the excellent balancing. Also loving the Hunters stuck in the mud ๐ #BlogClub
