We went down to play in the woods the other day. This was one of the before pictures, before the two children at the front of the picture fell in the water and got very soggy. It was a beautiful day and we all had so much fun. A day of making memories and having fun, just what childhood should be about.
This part of the river is currently being cleaned up by a lot of the locals, The Clean Up The Tarbolton Woods group, and the volunteers have taken the time to build a bridge across to the picnic area. They have an organised group that has been running for a few years now with a fab committee who have done a lot of fundraising to help with the ongoing costs.
Heart warming to hear the river is being cleared and how beautiful it looks.
ReplyDeletethey do a great job. I am going to need to book a Saturday off and join them one month.
DeleteHi Elaine, water and children usually ends up with a soggy child or two, but that's how memories are made. The woods look a lovely place to explore, and it's good there is a group dedicated to looking after them. Now what I want to know is, did you see any teddy bears having a picnic?

nearly impossible to tell them they could not go near the water, it provided a lot of fun.
DeleteThis looks like a great place to visit with children, lots of fun. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteit was a fab place to visit and a river is always fun
DeleteWhat a lovely photo. It's great when volunteers put so much time and energy into caring for things like this for the enjoyment of others.
ReplyDeleteit is fab of them, and they seem like a great organised group.
DeleteIt looks like they are having great fun!
ReplyDeleteThe clean up sounds fantastic. It's such a pretty spot to spend time x
they had a fabulous time and hopefully more nice days to come to go back.
DeleteHaha my girls would have fallen in straightaway.
ReplyDeleteLooks a good spot to explore
Have a good Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
It did take Minky a while to fall in, but his feet were wet early on
DeleteWhat a lovely place to visit. So nice the community is coming together to look after it too! :) sundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI think it is fab of the community and wish I did not work weekends so I could help out some times
DeleteWhat a lovely place to visit and a great project to get involved in. I think it's so important to teach our children about looking after the earth and how they can do their little bit throughout their lives to help out. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDelete'Just what childhood should be about' - quite right! This looks like a lovely place to walk & explore. #MySundayPhoto

What a fantastic place to be, I bet they remember it forever. Brrr, I heard our lakes are at 61˚ (16), I hope the river was warmer.
ReplyDeleteThe simple things in life are the ones that make the most fun memories #mysundayphoto
