Looking forward to Spring

This time last year we made a spontaneous visit to local woodland. The skies were blue, the sun was shining and it was so mild. It was the first time in months we weren’t wrapped up in layers of clothing and donning wellies.

POD had a renewed sense of freedom that day, kicking leaves and running ahead with her white dress flowing behind her. It was an idyllic setting and we had it all to ourselves.

The sky was an amazing colour and it was uncharacteristically warm for March.

We’d been heading elsewhere that day but made a detour when the traffic was bad. What a fabulous alternative this woodland wander was to returning home.

I remember thinking POD looked so grown up at the time but she looks small. It was an effort to climb onto that bench – now she’d be on it before you could blink!

POD didn’t think we could see her when she had an impromptu lie down, little did she know we caught every moment. Let’s hope this Spring arrives quickly so we can enjoy more glorious days.

    Lovely pictures and so nice to see the sun. We haven’t had it warm enough in the Midlands to get away with a summer dress yet though.

    Remember the photos from the first time with POD lying down. Just lovely

    I remember this post and love the bench shot. You should do a photo on the same bench on the same day each year and see how she grows (and the weather varies!)

    I remember that post so well and those lovely photos of POD in her white dress. Was that really a year ago? So much colder this March, I’m still needing a jumper and coat out on the farm and bringing our newborns in at night.

    I remember these photos, just beautiful. I wish we would have some unseasonably warm weather… 🙂
