If you go down to the Woodland yurts

And I do hope that some of you will get to stay there because it is a fantastic experience.

 

We have stayed for three nights with family members....five adults and two children....

one only 10 weeks old.

Even if there`s a smattering of rain, we don`t mind because it`s really cosy in the yurts, with space on the floor to play Spuzzle. 

Set your toys up on the stove if it`s not lit.

 

The campfire soon gets going for the BBQ.

Sacks of logs provided by Tim and Anne.

Baked potatoes in the ashes.

Home-made tomato sauce, tomatoes, cucumber and potatoes.

All from Freshwinds Garden of course.

As it gets darker, light your lanterns and put on your headlights

and make sure everything is ready for bedtime inside the yurts.

 Get out your glowsticks for some added fun.

 

 

Inside the yurts, snuggle down in the comfy beds.

And don`t be surprised if you find that you go to bed earlier than usual.

  Wake in the morning to the growing light through the yurt top

and the sound of the dawn chorus.

 

Go for a stroll before breakfast and savour the peace and quiet, as well as the beautiful views.

 

Admire the dewy grass and the lacy cobwebs.

Cook breakfast in the camp kitchen and eat in the open air. It gives you a good appetite.

 Laze around the yurts in the sunshine, relaxing and winding down.

Or set off to look for lizards on the fence posts....

......watch out for herons, geese and buzzards overhead.....

....set yourself some tasks....

......making bows and arrows, creating lashed camp tables....

......weaving God`s eyes....

......wander through Freshwinds Garden looking for butterflies....

.....or search for the stone ladybirds and bees, hidden all round ....

.....look for frogs in the pond....

.....check on the rabbits and chickens....

 ......see if the ferrets are out...... 

.....visit the donkeys, Alice and Rosie.....

......go for walks in the nearby woods.....

.....or be even more daring and go for night-time walks.....make sure you take your torches.

Maybe later, go foraging in the hedgerows for blackberries and sloes.

If you wish to go further afield there are many interesting places to visit from the 

Freshwinds Camping site.

Many of them have been mentioned on this blog.

We didn`t need to go anywhere.
