I would have liked to have gone to that, but I checked the forecast and saw all the rain coming and decided to give it a miss as my kids think they will melt in the rain  ::)

Didnt catch his name.. my toddler decided on mutiple toliet breaks, and in the end,  i met them at the end of the walk.. just in time to taste some wood sorrel.. ive never eaten anything so close to the ground before :-\   ;). Everyone enjoyed it, but i really would have loved to done the whole walk..
