About 2 weeks ago, me, my brother Euan, and some of his friends, went to Wendover Woods just outside Aylesbury for Go Ape and to visit the Woods. Wendover Woods is a big wood, managed by Forestry England, where you can explore the outdoors, walk and exercise, and Go Ape is a climbing adventure in […]

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year in the UK so we decided to go to Verulamium park to paddle. We went to the area at the edge of the main lake, beside the Fighting Cocks pub. There’s stepping stones going across at that point, like my recent walk post – Ver Valley Walk […]
Yesterday we visited a lavender field in Hitchin. It smelt very nice! It’s very pretty and is a good place to spend a couple of hours. It has its own ice cream, even with lavender flavoured (but I got chocolate)! TASTY! Arrangements, Costs and Getting There At the moment, because of the Pandemic, the lavender […]
Today we went to Hawkswick Lodge fruit farm to pick some strawberries. If you want to go check out my post about a walking route to get there. It’s really fun and I would recommend it as instead of going to the shops you can pick it fresh when it’s nice and tasty. It’s also […]

Today we had a treat and went out to the food market in town. Normally during term time we would be having school lunch, so it’s not often we get the chance to do it. There’s a lot of different stalls with all kinds of food from different places. It’s very cool! Mummy decided to […]
This evening me and the rest of Year 5 went to a Captain Fantastic Challenge Party on zoom, organised by school. Basically there was comedian host who planned activities and challenges for us. The aim was to either: avoid getting a dare, to get points or just for fun. We started off doing exercises which […]
At the start of the summer, M&S did a scheme called Little Garden. When you spent £20 you were given a seedling kit, including a pot, soil, and seeds. We got three packs: pansy, viola, and beetroot. This little video from M&S explains the scheme. First, you had to put the soil onto a surface, […]
