The offspring are almost back at school (after all, what's one little INSET day when you've already done a half term spanning a fortnight). Actually, I sound as if I am grumbling about it when in actual fact I could easily have gone on an extra week - we were all shattered and in need of a break and a change of pace.
And some late Autumn sunshine really helped.
It was too beautiful to be squandered, so we chucked on our wellies and headed out for a walk that we used to do often when the boys were smaller.
It turned out to be slightly bittersweet - what used to take a whole afternoon was done and dusted in an hour. What a difference bigger legs make. Though they did try valliantly to re-capure times past by climbing in all the old familiar spots.
Autumn, you are photogenic, I'll give you that.
Hooray for revisiting old haunts :) x

Autumn walks are the best even when longer legs render them shorter than they used to be. Glad the change of pace came at the right time xxx

Will you look at the length of those legs?! Enjoy the rest of autumn.

so funny when they play on things you used to visit and now it makes the children seem like giants, it happened to us last week.

Some of us still have short legs in this house so walks take the same amount of time as they always did...

We too have so many good memories of balancing on that branch. It seems to be getting shorter over the years doesn't it? I have photos of our boys balancing on it seeming as though they are floating in thin air as the hill falls away behind them.
