First Day of the Half Term Break

Last night England and Wales were hit by a storm.  The roaring of the wind (80mph gusts reported in some areas) woke us all in the early hours.

We went to our local Forest Centre where I had booked the children into an activity, but on arrival we got rather distracted by a huge puddle.  Note to self: we need more stone skimming practice.

Apple Day was the theme and the kiddies made some cute apples...


...and they had a go at apple tasting.

 They made their apples in two parts...

...underneath were chomped on apples.

After lunch the wind died down but it was still incredibly gusty and very cold.  

We had a lovely, COLD Autumn walk with friends.




And this evening we lit our pumpkin lanterns.
