Autumn leaves and berries
We are now in autumn, I like autumn because I enjoy seeing all the different colours appearing every day. Recently as it was half term and we were in lockdown in Wales, we have been on a lot of long walks. I have seen a lot of fallen leaves and a loads of berries on the bushes.
This is us having fun in the woods
Max has also enjoyed being off his lead in the woods
Rose hips in the wild are eaten by birds, squirrels and rabbits. Rose hips are the seed or fruit from rose plants and are edible, they are a great source of vitamin C.
Holly berries are poisonous to humans and pets, but they are enjoyed by blackbirds, fieldfares, redwings and thrushes. The leaves of the holly bush take so long to break down, hedgehogs, small mammals, toads and slow worms hibernate in the leaf litter underneath the tree.
And it was nice to be able to walk in the woods by St. Dyfnog's well behind the church in our village
We have also collected a lot of conkers and acorns as they are everywhere at the minute. We have put the conkers around the house to keep the spiders away. This is an old wives tale and there is no evidence that it works but its nice to have them around.
Looks like a lovely walk in the woods, i suppose you had to dress up warm.
