EXPOLRING ROCKPOOLS

We love the beach and we can't resist a camping trip to the coast every year.

We love to take long walks along the sand and paddling in the water, We love the smells and warm

 sun beating down on our faces.

There are many things we love about out Great British oceans but one of our favourite things to do 

whilst at the beach is to take our net and bucket and search the wonderful world of rock pools 

Rock pooling is an age old British tradition you will always find families with a bucket and a net 

searching in between the small cracks and crevases of the rocks hunting for crabs and any other 

strange and wonderful plant life that have become trapped as the tied had retreated for the day 

The pools that have been left are a world in themselves you never know what you may find. We like 

to search for crabs and can often spend hours jumping from pool to pool searching.

Crabs are cleaver and will move very fast if they suspect you are near often hiding under rocks or 

burying themselves in the send 

But those who are persistent will reap the rewards and we must say there is something exciting about 

getting a glimpse of a big crab, and slowly creeping towards him net in hand hoping he dose not run 

and hide himself away. This is the biggest crab we have caught I'm sure many of you have caught 

much bigger, we let him go soon after as we don't like to keep them in the bucket 

There are not just crabs there are all sorts of plants and life to find, sometimes it feels like you are 

looking into an alien world 

Once we have spent some time rock pooling its time to enjoy the beauty of the coastline 

 At the end of the day we like nothing more then sitting on the sand with our fish and chips and

 watching the incredible sunsets our coastline has to offer 

SUMMER BY THE RIVER

The sun is out and the British summer is in full swing

What better way to enjoy the sun then to have a quintessentially English picnic down by the river 

its one of our favourite things to do and the best way to enjoy our beautiful countryside 

We are lucky enough to live in Warwickshire in the heart of the midlands home to Shakespeare 

our countryside is very flat with very few hills but we have some incredibly stunning locations with

 rivers cutting there way through fields surrounded by hedgerows

We adventured to a spot where we like to sit and relax, We think of it like our

own little space like a scene straight out of wind and the willows.

With the incredibly warm weather it would have been a sin not to take a picnic and a few books to read.

We sat and watched the world go by watching the wildlife go about its daily

routine. We saw beautiful blue dragonflies darting among the reeds fish swimming under the lilies

and swans gracefully swimming along in the sun.

After a long relax and a good read we headed off for a gentle stroll

After a long day in the sun and possibly a little sunburned we headed home to plan our next adventure
