Its no secret that Autumn has to be my favourite season, the temperature normally best over the year not to cool or warm and clear light from bright blue skies is beautiful. This weekend we chose a walk around Thetford to enjoy the seasonal change of the forest, even though there is a lot of evergreen pine there still is a noticeable colour change.
This time of the year there is an abundance of mushrooms so many different varieties and i have slightly fallen in love with how fascinating they are, from large bold mushrooms to the tiniest delicate rings not to mention the colours and textures
The pines in Thetford are really striking with their tall trunks reaching ever taller before bursting into a piney canopy
A great big space perfect for running about and exploring you never know whats around a corner, a tunnel a play thing or green arches to wide open spaces.
I love how the trees are planted and how they lead your eye along paths and sky line, they invite you to follow the woodland paths. Some trees are planted so densely they make thick woods and we couldnt help ourselves but to go into the deep dark forest, the sound changed to absolute peace and small details of woodland mushrooms came into focus.
One mission was to come home with some pine cones and we had no problem completing that and the trees were festooned in cones
Even with ever green trees rusty reds for autumn were prevalent and beautiful against the rich pines
3 miles later i think mum and dad finally won the battle of tiring one energetic girl
It looks like you had a great day, it looks like a great place to escape to and find some peace and quiet whilst tiring out the kids. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.

ReplyDeleteMy mum and dad used to take us to Thetford forest when we were children and we keep meaning to go back. Lovely pictures x #HDYGG
ReplyDeletewow! such a fun structure for playing! I really love the photos of the tall tall trees and then the ones of the tiny mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteOh what gorgeous photos! Such tall trees. Looks like you had fun in the forest :)
ReplyDeleteI love forest walks but I have to admit I am not a lover of pine forests. I think I walked in one too many dark ones as a child! That said you certainly looked like you all had a great time and Thetford looks more open and inviting than other pine forests. #HDYGG
