A Hidden Forest

We have got some of our beloved friends over. Yesterday we went on a beautiful walk to a lake. On the way mum showed us a hidden forest that mum found before. I want to live there. (It is even better in real life).

Remember 'River Cottage' I watched with mum during our girls time? Well the pumpkin cornbread was from there. Recipe: http://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/chilli-pumpkin-cornbread
