After the painting session this morning we all went out for a lovely walk in the woods and Jude spotted this pretty little butterfly - the tiniest I've ever seen! I've just found out it's a small copper.
The girls had a great time, got completely covered in mud and had a good run around. We didn't fare so well on the foraging front as the squirrels have had all the hazlenuts and none of the sweet chestnuts were ripe enough to bother with... we did find lots of haycorns though!
Then when we got back Jess and I created this out of the paintings from yesterday:
which Jess was really pleased with, as she's been waking up every morning for the last three days wanting to cut out the fish! Good day had by all :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Phyllis! As I said in the post, I can't really take any credit for the idea as it was copied from Jane Hissey's book, but it did turn out well :) All Things Beautiful has sooooo much information on it, it's a real treasure-trove!
