What a lovely surprise we found in Mallard Hide @w What a lovely surprise we found in Mallard Hide @welsh.wildlife.centre @wildlifetrustsww

We sat and slowed down as we looked out onto the marsh. My son drew the Kingfisher he saw and Clay sat poised with the binoculars, whilst I wrote a short observational verse. 

Thank you @spanartsnarberth I'd love this to be shared and create a version in Surrey. Perhaps with the help of @dorkingistalkingevents @reigatebanstead @molevalleydc @paulritchieartist @ecoearlswood @surrey.librariesuk @eastclay @brendawinslade

Writing the Wild is a county-wide poetry treasure hunt from SPAN Arts, created in collaboration with the Narberth Poets as part of our Love Stories to Nature programme. This summer, poetry treasure boxes have been hidden in beautiful outdoor locations across Pembrokeshire, inviting families to slow down, explore nature and respond with a word, a line, or even a whole poem inspired by the landscape around them.

The project is open to everyone - children, parents, grandparents and carers alike and no previous writing experience is needed. Whether families enjoy walking, visiting the beach, exploring woodlands or discovering new places together, Writing the Wild offers a fun and creative way to connect with Pembrokeshire's incredible natural environment over the holidays.

Every contribution will be collected and woven together by the Narberth Poets into one collaborative poem celebrating our county, its people and the landscapes we share.

Have you visited Dorking recently? We parked in Have you visited Dorking recently? 

We parked in St Martin's Walk car park and paid for 4 hours parking. There's a free toilet there if you've driven a fair way. 🚻🚙

I'm a bit sad at the amount of car parks switching to app/phone payments when I keep that little bit of change in the car for days out.... grrr it seemed to take forever with voice recognition to pay! @molevalleydc frustrating 

First, we went for some lunch @hartsatthecourtyard a lovely little cafe for toasted samdwiches and cakes. 

Pocket money at the ready for bargains in the charity shops - we found sunglasses, shorts and a couple of books for holiday.

After sweetie stop in Sainsburys we went to Meadowbank Park, back near the car park. You can also get a cuppa there at @cafeconnectdorking or of course take a picnic.
A lovely play park, obstacle course, skate area (or remote control cars) plenty of space for football.

You can also walk around the pond 🦢🐦‍⬛🦆and check out the new band stand. There's music this August in a Sunday from 2pm! 🎶🎻🎺

You can make this day out suit your budget for sure 😀

🌲St Leonard's Forest🌲 We love finding new places 🌲St Leonard's Forest🌲

We love finding new places to walk. Hardly saw anyone ... bonus 😅💚🌳🌿

Not far from Crawley/Horsham is St Leonard's Forest. No facilities but free parking at the Roosthole car park! 🚙

Make sure you have enough time to explore as we got a little lost as the map at the car park isn't the best (maybe it was our map skills) 
Take a photo of it. Make sure you bring snacks and water. 

Let us know if you go! Enjoy

Last Friday, we hung out @nymansnt to listen to li Last Friday, we hung out @nymansnt to listen to live music and have a little picnic after hours. What a gorgeous night it was to chill out with friends on the lawn by the stunning house there. Have you been? 

It was free with our National Trust membership, though it's cheaper for you after 4 30pm if you're not a member. And if like me, you're not a late night out person, this is perfect! So lovely in fact, that we are going again this Friday for their last late night this summer. You can also walk around the garden and woodland (by the overflow carpark).

Fri 24 July: The Falmer Swing Collective Enjoy the Hot Club Jazz stylings of this four-piece band as they bring you jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt and his contemporaries 🎶🎷

Dogs🐕‍🦺 on short leads welcome. Half price admission after 4.30pm. Music: 6pm - 8pm. This year, a range of delicious treats are available from London food van Kang Foo Noodles🍜, while The Fizzy Filly offers alcoholic drinks, cocktails and soft drinks, perfect for enjoying on a balmy summer night.

We had a lovely Saturday afternoon at Leigh Flower We had a lovely Saturday afternoon at Leigh Flower Show and Country Fayre. Having worked in Leigh, I love the village community feel here and enjoy supporting such a fantastic event. 

Some fab entries in the flower and craft competitions, yummy cake and interesting stalls.

Although you'll have to wait until next next year for the flower show, you can visit @theploughleigh  or the @thesevenstarsleigh have a peep in the old, red phone box, which is now a history box, visit the playground (free parking next to it) or have a wander down some of the country paths.
