We came back from Spain and headed straight out again for a weekend camp in the New Forest with a local home ed group. When packing up, we did wonder whether this was packing too much in, but we had a lovely time so were glad we went.
We camped under beautiful oak trees (which turned out to be a very good move, as the weather was sweltering) ....
Campsite activities included colouring & painting, and treasure hunts (Rob & Brodie are making a treasure map in this photo ....)
Following the clues .....
There were loads of caterpillars which kept zip-wiring down from the oak trees and were very entertaining! We think they were starting to spin their cocoons....
Off on a group walk through the forest to a stream for paddling .....
... stopping for tree trunk walking on the way ....
more wildlife ....
at the stream ......
We went to Exbury Gardens on the Sunday, as Brodie wanted to revisit the train there ...
The gardens are famous for (and packed with) azaleas & rhododendrons, and this is the perfect time to see them in bloom .....
The History Tree - this was a section of tree trunk, approximately 300 years old. It was marked with different events in British history and the history of the gardens....
