A muddy day at Lower Woods
Today we went to Lower Woods with our friends Hazel and Arthur. We had a picnic in the sunshine sitting on a pile of logs. There are loads of beautiful spring flowers in the woods: primroses, violets, bluebells, wood anemones, cowslips, celandines, cuckoo flower, and early purple orchids. We had a brilliant time playing in the mud and in the stream. We found some fossils in the stream: amonites and devil's toe-nails. We also found a large piece of cotham marble which is a type of stone found in the woods. I got stuck in the mud and the mud went over the top of my wellie! I had to pull it out and when I put my foot back inside it, it was all wet and squidgy - yuck!! When we were playing in the stream, my cap fell in the water and my wellie boot (the muddy one) filled up with water! We were all very muddy and wet by the time we finished our walk, but we were all still laughing.

Sounds like a very good day Joe! The woods must be very colourful.
ReplyDeleteAt least the stream got your wellies well-washed (inside and out). Get them stuffed with plenty of newspaper to dry them out - then you can go out and get muddy all over again!
That sounds like fun - and it sounds like the woods looked very pretty. I bet it smelled lovely and spring-like too. Poor Mum having to sort out all of your wet muddy clothes! What a lovely day for a picnic.
