It’s been hot…
Made it down to Darts Farm, just outside of Exeter.
Was hot there as well, but at least managed to pick up cider. Which was useful… (if a little upsetting to my wallet)
This photo is of the Maize Maze slowly growing at Darts Farm.
“I had made mistakes before, letting her bury me in the sand was a particularly big one”
I had the opportunity to lead a small photowalk the other day, walking over a (currently) disused road bridge we discussed how slightly eerie it felt wondering over this old bridge, taking us over the busy main road below.
Are you looking for something to do with your little ones this weekend around Exeter in Devon? How about going Gruffalo Hunting at Haldon Forest?
Found just of the Devon Expressway, Haldon Forest is home to a number of activities (walkers will get use to avoiding the cyclists and Segways), and with the use of the Gruffalo Spotter app, you can now go a hunt the beast for yourself.
By loading up the Gruffalo Spotter app on your phone, and following the Discovery Trail, you can point your phone at special signs on route that will play a quick video clip on your phone, which appears to be taking place right in front of you. (Think something like “Pokemon Go”).
It added something different to our walk around, but our four year olds imagination was already fired up by the idea of looking for the Gruffalo and assorted friends.
To give you a flavour of what to expect, here are some photos from our explore around the imaginative world of Haldon Forest.
Yes that is also Stick Man above…

I cant help but feel there is something about the Exeter Central train station, that makes me want to take photos of it… Maybe its the lines, or the square, or something…
I dont know about you, but April showers seemed to have been none existent this year… instead its been “May Showers”. Here’s our attempt at avoiding them…

Taken on Wednesday evening on the walk from the pub back to work… Sometimes life feels confusing…
We decided to explore Woodbury Castle in Devon earlier today.
There’s no castle at Woodbury Castle, but plenty of empty moats for little people to climb, leaves to wade through, loads of trees to look up, and gorgeous scenery all around.
