Let’s collect pine cones! – JD, 4

We spent a perfect sunny Sunday in the woods, eating a picnic, collecting pine cones, playing hoopla with bits of willow fashioned into rings.

The warm, clean air in our lungs, the crackle of twigs underfoot, the sound of the forest and the absence of traffic.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love London, but the countryside wins hands-down for me every single time.
