good news for me today

[mat1]

well had a great day today
was talking to a cousins husband about trying to find some woodland to spend some time.

he said i will ask me mum as she got a bit of land, well he was on the phone for 5 minutes and and she has given me permission to use her wood land
all 32 acres of it

she said its a bit of a mess as no one has been in there for 15 years but lots of wildlife to look at.
the one condition is i have to clear a small area and make it suitable for kids to play in, no rush just as and when. so have a nice challenge and once ive been to check its all safe etc im gonna ask the kids in the family if they would like to help clear the area and hopefully they will enjoy making the dens etc

cant wait now

Lucky beggar!
Sounds like you've found a peach of a parcel of woodland.
Having lived in southern England I know how hard it can be to find somewhere to play.
Hope you have fun & enjoy it.
Though remember the BCUK credo... Pictures or it didn't happen.
