IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY: my birthday weekend




On Saturday afternoon, we wrapped up against the onset of cold winds and rain (that hot weather didn't last long!) and wondered off to the woods, walking along the river. Josephine loved every minute, following to winding pathways through the overgrown mass of nettles and wildflowers and pointing at this and that; always wanting to get closer to the water. Beautiful time spent with my loves.

It was my birthday on Friday. 29. Ben had holiday from work and we had a very lazy day as the rain poured outside. Family gathered at our house in the evening for Fajitas and the most chocolaty of cakes. Both were delicious, and both were devoured by Ben and I yesterday too. I got so many awesome presents, they warrant a post of their own; everything from my Wishlist and more. A stupendous haul of goodies. 

It was a lovely day and now I'm in the last year of my twenties. I wonder what adventures the next 12 months will bring...

    1. It's actually a teeny stretch of pathways running alongside the river just behind the London Road, behind Kensington Meadows. You can cut onto the canal from there and it's a lovely little walk. So pretty xx
