Very Ice & Taking Whisks

The hoar frost created feathery whiskers across every grass blade and fallen leaf. We had great fun stomping through the frozen puddles and listening to the crackle and crunch of the ice. We spotted the distinctive deer prints and watched as meadow pipits danced across the newly drilled field. On Thursday, Fox was treated to a solitary buzzard perched on the prison fence his eyes fixated on the field. She wondered if he was scouting for breakfast and why he had evolved white stripes under his wings.
We did not waste time lighting the fire as there was much to do…..

On the menu this week: coconut rice pudding which everyone tried and (much to Wren’s dismay) most people loved. The organised activities included Christmas tree whisk making, icy sun catchers as well as all sorts of wonderful ideas that the children created for themselves.
