I spent the bank holiday at Go Ape, a high wire forest adventure course in Thetford Forest, Suffolk. Not one for heights myself, I helped to keep little baby Ellie occupied while I watched my children swing through the tall trees attached to harnesses. It actually looked like great fun and they certainly enjoyed the course.
By midday the sun had broken through the clouds setting the perfect scene for a BBQ lunch, which we spent the rest of the day working off with long walks through the trees and maze, finishing the day with a game of rounders on the huge green and a couple of quick sketches for my journal.

Thanks Dianne, so pleased to hear you are feeling better! :)
Thanks Dintoons. I am so pleased that the foliage/forest sketch came over as carefree and spontaneous...That is exactly how I approached it! You see, I have a bit of a fear of foliaged areas, never quite sure where to start and how to simplify what I see, so I finally decided to throw caution to the wind and just have fun...go for it...I think it worked and more importantly it was not scary at all! :)
Love the foliage!!! I'd volunteer to watch the little one too!
