🌱 It felt good to be back in the woods today and to share time together. Love to those who could not be with us.

🌱 We noticed ladybirds, deer prints, birdsong, mushrooms 🍄‍🟫…

🌱 We made bees 🐝 to hang in the fairy kingdom in honour of our beautiful friend, Bailey Bee.

🌱 A little one asked to decorate stones - please let me know if there’s something you or your little one are interested in doing in future sessions. 💚🌿🐸

🐞 🐞🐞Look at the loveliness of ladybirds! I noticed them in our wild patch, whilst doing a site check this morning. I think they were making the most of the sunshine.

We’ll be thinking about all the creatures who’ll be waking up from hibernation soon during our session on Friday. Ladybirds included. Can you have a think about the other animals and minibeasts in this country who also hibernate?

🌱❤️ I had another go at making a Brigid’s cross today. This time using dogwood. You can see the pattern of the weave more easily, but the sticks felt ‘jumpier’ than the willow and kept trying to spring back when I was tying them off at the ends so I used elastic bands to secure. 🌱❤️

🌱💚💛 I had a little play this afternoon making my first Brigid’s cross. It seemed apt using willow, if a bit tricky because of the buds. Love a bit of simple weaving to soothe the soul. Imbolc is almost here and spring will follow there after. 🌱💚💛

❄️ I wonder, did you manage to take time to notice the beauty in the snow we woke up to this morning? With the little ones back at school today, I took a solitary walk around the woods. I didn’t feel the need to play with the snow; just taking time to quietly appreciate the woods in its winter cloak was enough for me. ❄️

💚🍂New Year’s Day outside
a robin reminds me to
give room to my grief

Whilst a chaffinch’s
warm pink plumage offers hope
of springtime to come🍂💚

Here’s a little poem I wrote after looking out of the kitchen window, whilst washing up on New Year’s Day. Nature reminded me that it’s okay to begin a new year by giving space to all the emotions you may be feeling at this time.

Sending much love and woody wishes to you all! 💚🌿🐸

🍂What a wonderful way to see out 2025 together in the woods. We celebrated a birthday, the winter solstice and being in each other’s company. Drank hot chocolate, shared cake and gingerbread men. Sang with our rythmn sticks and made winter garlands.

Thank you for joining us! We wish you all a very merry Christmas! 🎄💚🌿🐸

🍂 This morning, I went for a gentle wander outside with the littlest and noticed beauty all around us. In this busy festive season, nature is there to remind us to slow down and breathe… 💚
