We had a perfect day for our trip to the County Park. Blue sky and a warm breeze. Our taxi dropped us off in the north car park and we made our way down to the river with a mini scavenger hunt to complete. One of the things on our list was 1 smooth pebble and 1 flat stone so we all had a go at skimming.
The rhodedendrums were in full flower and we were amazed by all the different colours. Bright pink, purples, orange, red, peach and white. The petals made carpets for us to walk on.
Lily smelt and picked some some wild garlic and remembered the wild garlic bread that we made at school.
Sight, smell and then noise. The river was crashing over the stones at the waterfalls. We couldn’t hear each other speak it was so loud.
We spotted frogs in the pond, dragonflies and damsel flies darting about and bees and butterflies flying from flower to flower. After a wee picnic of crisps and cake we found some amazing trees to climb. What a great afternoon!
