Tuesday Woodland Walk

We've been pretty lucky with the weather here these past few days I guess. Yes, it's been very windy and wet, but nowhere near as bad as other parts of the UK.  My heart goes out to those who have been so battered by the storm, the news stories have been heart breaking.

After a morning of rain, yesterday afternoon we took advantage of a sudden dry spell and headed to Bolton Abbey for a short walk in the woods. I really enjoy woodland walking and although it's not my favourite type of walking (I prefer to be out in the open, striding across hilltops), I think it's a great way to get children out and about and appreciating the different seasons. I adore May when the vibrant new leaves arrive on the trees and a sea of bluebells and wild garlic carpet the woodland floor, but early Autumn is also mighty fine. Still a lot of greenery in the treetops here, but unmistakably Autumnal.

Even though the Little People increasingly moan about these enforced trips out into the countryside, it was worth the effort to make it happen. I think they might even have enjoyed it in the end.

Hi just discovered your site. I'm a beginner one of the things I'm finding out. Would you consider doing video tutorials please,

[Amy]

GREAT Fall colors! Love the teeny-tiny acorns!

[Lauren]

This is so pretty. Having four separate seasons is one of the things I really miss about living in Europe. In South Africa we have summer and winter and if you blink too quickly you miss the change over.

What a colourful walk.

Hi Lucy,
I hope you don't think me terribly rude, and take this comment in the spirit it is intended in, but I can't help but notice every time that you have a photo of your hands that your skin looks quite dry. I have found that Neutrogena's Norwegian formula hand cream is really good at helping dry skin, has no scent, only requires a
little bit, and is reasonably priced. Give it a try. If you don't have dry skin, I apologise, but I thought I would mention it.
Cheers Janice

[Sherial]

It seems to be the most beautiful time of year all around the world.

[Beata Basik]

[Idiosyncratic Eye]

Such dinky acorns! :)

[IZZY]

I WAS LOOKING AT ALL YOUR YARN GOODS AND WAS WONDERING IF SOMEONE HAS EVER KNITTED LONG CURTAINS FOR THE WINDOWS . LIKE AN AFGHAN ...

[Joanne]

Glad your weather is holding out. What a breathtaking walk!

[Mitzi]

Autumn is my favourite time of year. Your pics are absolutely lovely. It's very flat in my part of Lincolnshire and you don't get the woodland walks around here. I do miss them.

[Angela]

You lucky lady! Sadly our green here in the NE of USA is gone. It's cold and windy today, good day for some hookin' though! Enjoy those beautiful walks, I'm GREEN with envy ;)

[Jo]

Lovely photos as usual.
Have a look at this link for a new idea for your (Christmas/Easter) twigs. A thanks giving theme. I know we don't celebrate thanks giving in the UK but still a lovely idea I saw on Pinterest.

Great to hear what you are up to Lucy, your pictures are lovely and the colours as inspiration for creative projects.

Lovely landscape for å walk!
Please, join us in the next Blogger´s Sunday Walk which will be arranged during the winter. Four walks a year. You are welcome to see previous BSW-posts on my blog.
Have a nice weekend.

Cake crumbs and muffins.... sigh... swoon. I CAN. NOT tell yo how much teh heart aches when I see these images. We are facing a Perth Summer here and whilst this may seem like sacrilege to say to a Brit... I want the cold, I want the Winter and (esp with sunny skies like these) I want to be in the UK!! Oh well... deep breath... at least I have your gorgoues blog to transport me there regularly ... until Hubby and I make the adventurous move ourselves!
Thanks for sharing lovely lady! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Elena Rincón]

Lovely places to walk. I enjoy your blog a lot.
It´s the first time for me commenting and I,m not sure if this is the right way to do it.
Could you please explain how to crochet the edging for your beautiful and colourful ripple blanket? I would appreciated it very much. Sorry for my bad english.

Woodlands are beautiful!

My brother-in-law has started turning the wood into beautiful things too, using locally sourced wood where possible. Check out http://roundwoodenstuff.com/ for more details!
