We are outside literally all the day, all year round.  Sometimes children simply play in sand or even the dirt.  They enjoy a rope swing or just running.  We also encourage gardening and the care of the livestock.

​Then our base is nestled in ancient woodland. We spend many hours, particularly in the afternoons, in the forest.

​Many adults are amazed at the resilience of young children. The winter cold is not a challenge in comparison with the heat of July. But the woods provide a beautiful shade from the heat. As the Scandinavians say, ‘There is no such thing as bad weather – just the wrong clothes.’
