A walk around Thetford forest

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



Babies first shoes


 So 4 days after her first birthday Ella decided she would like to walk and got up and walked across the living room and then did it 10 times more over the next 2 days, so we have been doing lots of walking across the playground to pick up Sophie from school, round the garden, round the house all with socks on feet or bare foot to help Ella get her foot placement before trapping her feet in shoes.

She took to shoes really well and loves wearing them stepping out in style trotting about, so now i can no long call her baby as she is officially a toddler.
