June

Over the last couple of weeks we've had a lot of rain and a lot of sun and the woodland is looking very lush at the moment. Today, June 12th 2016, all around the country there are parties to celebrate the Queen's official 90th birthday .Framsden Woodland Group is no exception and we have combined our annual plant sale with a big lunch picnic in the glade.

  

The plant sale this morning was a great success with nearly all the plants sold and lots of tea and cake as well. Photo taken through the hatch!

The weather was a bit overcast and drizzly but in true British fashion people turned out and sat in the rain to eat their sandwiches. The children enjoyed a run round to find the clues on the treasure hunt, Alex won the junk crown competition and was very pleased with his prize.

The bug hunt was abandoned as the rain fell a bit harder, which was a shame as I found a lovely toad on my solo trip around the wood. Maybe next time!
