Spring Equinox: Day 4

Our fourth day of celebrating the upcoming Spring Equinox, and we decided to head out for a picnic.

Picnic at Haughton Dale

We went for a picnic in Haughton Dale today. It was nice to wander round, looking for signs of spring in the woods. We saw a lot of blossom, heard a lot of bird song, and then accidentally watched some frogs having sex. Spring is truly in the air!

Seasonal Tea

Took a slightly meditative moment to enjoy spring in the woods with a seasonal tea. This one was Cream Egg tea from Bird and Blend.

Tiny Birthday No. 14

Another tiny birthday treat while we were at Haughton Dale... Birthday Cake tea from Bird and Blend Tea Co.!

Tiny Birthday No. 13

On my birthday itself, it was very hot. So we went for a birthday picnic, somewhere we could sit by a river in the shade of a big horse chestnut tree. Rob chose Haughton Dale for the occasions - and my stars, that place is pretty.
