Over the weekend

It was a cold, wet weekend and we visited a nearby ancient woodland in the hope of spotting some Roman snails (These are big, big snails still found in England, introduced here by the Romans and still present).



My boys are loving snails right now. Well, we didn't find any roman snails to admire on this visit. Maybe next time. We spotted one fossil of a shellfish in a rockface. Again, will look again next visit for more finds. Huge stretches of magical carpets of bluebells there though. Such a joy!





We live in the Cotswolds and the countryside is truly beautiful here, especially during Spring. Lush green, rolling fields with mama sheep and babes grazing, cotswold stone walls, streams and natural springs and beautiful woodlands.



Just look at those plump, frisky lambs.
