A walk in the woods

The Autumn chill had definitely made an appearance at Ostler's Plantation when we turned up for our second "Billinghay Family Walk". The few decideous trees had an array of colours as well as the ferns turning a brilliant red... The increased rainfall and general moisture had encouraged a few mushrooms out but the birds we could hear teased us by staying out of eyesight, the children did however manage to catch a very majestic shield bug. The children, had great fun this time running ahead and finding dugouts for dens and trees to climb. There were quite a few brambles in the undergrowth but as long as feet were picked high their tripping up capabilities were kept to a minimum! The sun started to set as we made our way back to the car park and it was decided to have a nice brisk winter walk in December.
