Where Are We Going?

I'm sure most of you with children have heard these words, well at the moment this is Little Miss' FaVoUrItE phrase.  Every morning upon coming downstairs (usually around 6am!) she asks 'where we going mummy?' usually followed by 'going out soon?'

Now with all the gorgeous weather we've been having, a lot of time has been spent in the back garden but Little Miss is getting a bit bored of this, so today we decided to go for a walk.

After popping into the post office and then the bakery we headed in the direction of the Wood.  I have a confession to make now - we have lived here for 6 years and we have NEVER visited this wood - how shameful! I knew it was there, they even put up signs for it about a year or so ago but we still haven't ventured that way but that was all about to change this morning!

What a delightful place for a stroll!

I feel sooooo terrible now for not discovering it sooner! I think the council have invested some time in this little wooded patch as there are fruit trees growing and beautiful willow fences and benches scattered here are the so one can stop and take it all in.

Cow parsley is growing here in abundance - I do love it's teeny weeny pretty white flowers.

I fancied taking a few arty shots after being inspired by Jacquies' cow parsley photo. What do you think?

 Gorgeous yellow buttercups

Not sure what this is but very pretty!

Who knew Clover could look so beautiful?

 Also captured this stunning buddleia growing wild by the road on the walk home.

I was hoping to snap some nature but everything was too busy flying here, there and everywhere :) This beautiful place is certainly a discovery!
Are there any hidden gems on your doorstep?
