Few more......:)

Thia was taken at Puzzle Wood Coleford Forest of Dean, an amazing fairytale woodland. the kids love it there.These branches were covered in small and tiny branches. The programme Merlin is filmed in these woods, you can imagine the background that this picture could be used for when blown up to a bigger size.

What do you think this is above??

Our little Man on an old tree trunk that has been carved out with seats, its a sort of seesaw:))
