๐ฟ๐SO I LOVE the sessions BUT I also love the time where I am on my OWN setting up and itโs ALL quiet and NATURE seems to be watching ME … first thing I had a Robin as a visitor BUT I also saw a Woodpecker and a Jay which was magical AND then WE talk and WE laugh and WE play TOGETHER and I wonder WHO I run the sessions for as I get SO much from them and of course I hope that YOU do too ๐๐๐ฟ
๐ฟ๐IT was another beautiful day with lovely sessions – we explored and looked for birds (heard the Woodpecker and caught sight of the Jay in the trees), cut some Willow, made some Nature Wreaths, played with burrs and made fires. WE painted with blackberries, played hide n seek, made our lunch on the fire and blew bubbles. ๐๐ฟ

๐ฟ๐YESTERDAY was Lammas – the Celtic celebration of the height of Summer and theย harvest. TODAY I had my chance to see the abundance of nature on our doorsteps and a chance to SLOW down. COLLECTING blackberries, looking at the colours around us, smelling the flowers and touching the grasses. MAKING a nature wreath using bind weed to make a circle, threading through flowers and using grasses as string. Some mindful craft for me #naturenoodlesuk ๐๐ฟ
๐WELL what a difference a few days makes to the WEATHER. WE kept our cool though and had adventures through the site following arrows, checking out dens, having a go with a bow and arrow, some tool work, some bug hunting, printing, painting, pizza making and fairy house building. ALL the children were amazing in the heat and it was SO lovely to see everyone ๐๐ฟ
๐ฟ๐SPACES are filling up for the SECOND block of the Summer Sessions. There MAY be more spaces but at the moment I have space on:
๐ฟ๐THANK you for a lovely day making & playing, exploring & hiding, bug hunting & mud kitchen making, printing & leaf smelling, some car making (wobbly wheels! ๐) & jewellery making, story telling, fire making AND bubble blowing. Lovely to see you ALL and looking forward to Friday.๐๐ฟ
๐ฟ๐๐ฟSUMMER SESSIONS update – looking forward to the next two weeks and seeing you all. THANK YOU for booking up – I know the guidance is different to what we are used to, hence the block price PER session rather than PER child. WE are allowed to have groups of 6 OR the members of 2 households come together. Itโs easier if you organise your groups but Iโm happy to help if needs be …. ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ
๐PREPARING my little bags of POSSIBILITIES for the Summer Sessions. MORE dates to be popped on tomorrow ๐๐ฟ
