An early start to visit a beautiful woodland to try and glimpse the beautiful march ritual of brown hare's boxing! We filled our trusty thermos flask with porridge to eat on our early morning walk.
We found a lovely little bridge, which made a perfect place for a picnic! The woodland was covered with fresh green shoots of wild garlic.
We found great sticks to make bows and arrows and deer antlers with! And when little legs got tired, we tied my scarf round the little mans middle and played horse!
It was so good to be out in the spring sunshine, we had a 'bad hare day' and didn't see any boxing hares, probably due to our noise level! But we had a fab day out on our travels anyway!

Porridge?! Wow, what a great idea. My two love porridge, I would never have thought to take it on thermos journey! xxx
Looks like brilliant fun- the picture of your son with the branches as antlers made me laugh as F does that all the time! Now have a craving for porridge xx
Oh I am going to remember this in case we ever have some cooler wintery weather!!! Meanwhile we have been putting ice-cream in our thermos and taking it on hikes... at the end of a hike picnic it is just great to have a sloppy ice-cream cone!!! Summer fun!!! Have a great week!!!
That sounds like utter bliss, hares or not. I just took the dog for a walk in the village wood. It really is Spring out there: sunny and tweety with tiny leaves emerging. Gorgeous.
That looks like a really super day out. I'm so impressed with the porridge. How do you keep your porridge from turning into a solid lump? x
Beautiful photos, sounds like a wonderful day out. Thank you for sharing. :-)
Awww, these pics are just lovely! You really made the most of the sunshine and I agree, the thermos of porridge is inspired!
