Walking in the woods.

It was a beautiful scorching day a few weeks ago when my friend Anna and I decided to head to Wendover Woods for a walk.

Beautiful blossoms peeking through the trees.

Can anyone identify the snake in this picture? I know it is a terrible photograph.

I used to love the Gruffalo as a child.

'The Gruffalo' was originally published in March 1999 by Julia Donaldson. The story revolves around the main character, a mouse, taking a walk in the woods and meeting the Gruffalo along the way. It was a favourite of mine as a child like many others of my age. 
It was a pleasure to come across this fantastic painted wood carving of the Gruffalo in Wendover. 

A path leading through a carpet of Bluebells.

 There were Bluebells all around us as we followed the Firecrest Trail through the woods. An easy walk which winds its way up and over hills and through various parts of the wood. It was a great way to see the different habitats throughout the area. As it took us past small ponds, fields, patches of Pine and tree blossoms.  A great day by all accounts and definitely worth visiting again.
