After school adventures...

The village where my big girl started school in September has it's own woods so we've been making the most of as many after school walks in the woods as we can before the nights draw further in and make it far too dark and scary!

She has such an amazing imagination and loves nothing more than to go hunting for the Gruffalo. Every season brings something new to look forward to that makes me fall in love with it all over again and now that autumn is firmly established it had convinced me that it is most definitely my favourite, at least for the next couple of months ;) The colours of autumn are so vibrant and beautiful.

And there are fewer things more precious than the treasures autumn sends us to collect. My four year old is oh so proud of her autumn woodland walk spoils :) 

I must admit I do find it impossible to walk past all of the shiny brown conkers that litter our path each day without collecting another one or two. For my daughter of course.. *cough*

And when we get home there is nothing better than a good old hot chocolate to get us warmed up!

This week I'm linking up to Country Kids from Coombe Mill, it's my first time so be kind! And I'll be whipping up a hot chocolate later so I can settle down and browse some of the other entries...
