Flowers, bugs & fairy wands

Yesterday we were very lucky to have spent the day with the wonderful folk at Yeo Valley HQ in Blagdon, Somerset in order to promote their tree planting work with The Woodland Trust. We have always been a fan of their goods and love to support local British farming. The fact that they are based in the beautiful Mendips is an added bonus.
I mean, what a view!

The Yeo Valley and Woodland Trust team led a group of eager bloggers and children on a history timeline lesson of the area, a leaf hunt, bug hunt, mini den building, fairy wand making and photo opportunities in the most amazing floral garland whilst also keeping our tummies full with a lovely lunch and snacks - which of course included their delicious yoghurts and ice-cream.

For me it was great seeing Edith and Alban appreciating the great English countryside whilst enjoying each other's company; helping each other, working together and persevering at their activities. A personal heart melting moment was when shy girl Edith spoke to the wonderful guide, Les. Nothing for some children but quite a step for her.

Here are just some of our best bits...

And how beautiful does this empty can of beans look?!
