If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise – and it’s NOT bears! We have two woods near us – one is Ramalley, the other is Flexford. Flexford has cows and rabbits; Ramalley has trees and dogs. I name one of the trees as the Big Tree, but it’s very small! (Joke!)
I enjoy walking in the woods, and I walk with my dad all the time, and sometimes we would walk with our neighbours and their dog. [Read more…] about No Teddy Bear’s Picnic: Walking In The Woods
