I woke this morning feeling really tired, but as soon as I peered out the window my spirits were revived. It was a glorious summer’s morn.
I felt it would simply be wrong to let the day pass without taking the children out for a picnic. So we packed up some lunch and headed to the local gardens. We found the perfect spot under the shade of a great willow.
The boy took the opportunity to sketch in his art journal.
I love the way he so carefully looks out for his little sisters.
A big old peppercorn tree, just right for climbing.
The gardens are really pretty with little ponds and streams. Intellectually disabled people work here and do a great job helping to maintain the plants.
