A Sunday afternoon walk :-)

I asked little miss what she wanted to do today . Her 1st suggestion was Nana's for biscuits . 2 Nd choice was walk in the forest with the Frankie dog .

We are lucky enough to live in the New Forest, great for a quiet walk on a Sunday afternoon .

Even better if its been raining as there's muddy puddles .

Dog on lead , toddler in pushchair with her treasure bag at the ready !!!


     

On the first stretch of walk there was lots of bark on the ground . We place a small piece on our pushchair , finding woodlice and spiders . Little miss in heaven , she loves bugs . We speant alot of time just looking .


Muddy puddles next !! 
A spot of walking backwards :-)! 

We found this dragonfly lying by the side of the road , sadly not moving , but still a very pretty sight . 

A lovely Sunday walk had , with lots of leaves collected ready for a collage later . 

I would like to say I have a tired out toddler , but by the way she's jumping on my sofa . I'm not sure that's the case !

  1. I love simple days out like this, your pictures are lovely. It's strange but I only saw a dragonfly 'in real life' for the first time last year. I was shocked how big they are and by the way they moved... I'm ashamed to say when I first saw it, I screamed my head off in a public park, much to my husband's embarrassment!

    1. Aww thank you for your kind words :-).

      I think this may have been the first time I've seen on so big !

      Haha I used to scream at moths , but have to deal with them now and not scared the little miss !!

    My parents have a caravan in the new forest, so we go there quite frequently and love it!
