There was a lovely path to run down with blackberies growing along it.
A lovely spot to fish set back from other boats.
Off to explore, gather firewood and pick blackberries.
And a great spot for a row in the dinghy.
The guys could fish...
While I relaxed under the trees with a book and the kids and the cushions from the boat :)
Later on in the day a family of swans came to say hello. They allowed the children to sit and watch them for a long time.
B managed to catch his biggest fish of the holiday :)
And we made a fire
Mom baked an apple crumble and used the foraged blackberries. We all ate it round the camp fire. It was a perfect final evening.
K made herself her own swan nest.
So of course Kiki did too :)
On the final morning, the older two really didn't want to leave. Here they are feeding the last of our bread to the swans.
It was a wonderful holiday, one that we would love to repeat in a few years.
