Day 23 Climb up a Tree

This evening I had planned to sit near a local brook with my eldest daughter to see if we could spot any Water Voles but dense vegetation meant it was near impossible to get to the waters edge.

We decided to leave the vole watching until another time at a different location and instead had a walk out across the farmers fields via some footpaths to a row of trees where we would be able to do some tree climbing instead.

  5. Brilliant! You are both very nimble. I tried climbing a tree a few weeks ago and I am still no better at climbing now than I was as a child! You're having great fun on this challenge, I like it greatly! The ox-eye daisies are beautiful!x
