A magical day at Dovestone Reservoir π²π
Today we wandered through misty pine forests, spotted the striking red fly agaric mushrooms, and took in the beautiful views over the water.
We also added our wishes to the ancient money tree β gently hammering coins into the wood as people have done for centuries.
Wishing trees are part of old British folklore, where people leave offerings β coins, ribbons, or cloth β as a way of sending their hopes, dreams, or prayers into nature. Each coin represents a wish, and together they tell a story of hope, kindness, and connection through generations.
We ended our day with toasted marshmallows by the fire, warm hands and happy hearts π₯
A day filled with friendship, folklore, and forest magic πβ¨
