The kids are back at school, just done all the lunch boxes, going to start getting them up soon. Middle T doesn't start properly until tomorrow but we have to go to an initiation meeting this afternoon. So this time tomorrow all three bigger children will be at school and it'll be just me and smallest at home. We went to Hem heath woods yesterday herb gathering, i found several pieces of wood to make wands, a piece of hazel, a piece of oak and a piece of rowan, now i just have to decide which to use for construction. I got myself some rowan berries around 10 of them, i didn't want to take to many as the birds rely heavily on them at this time of year for their diet. Hoping to germinate a couple of them and plant them. One of the oak trees we found, this ones 'just a baby', it was around 30 feet tall and i could hold my husbands hands around the trunk. It's 'adult' counterpart was around the same height but oh my it would have taken almost 4 arm spans to circle it. The children had great fun we saw big dragonflies around 7 centimeter in length in an electric blue and yellow with geometric patterns on the tail, they were beautiful, i tried really hard to get a photo but couldn't as the kids wouldn't stay still long enough for them to set down and let me get a photo.
