A couple weekends ago we went to the "hundred-acre wood" which is actually the 500 acre wood in Ashdown forest. I didn't really know that this place existed beyond the Winnie-the-Pooh books. A.A Milne had a country home on the edge of this forest where Christopher Robin would play and so set the scene for his stories. It was a fun, cheap day and we beat the rain. Prior to this weekend we were trying to decide what to do with the kids since it was the end of Letty's term break. After brain storming we decided that they hadn't spend enough time in nature. Plus we didn't want to spend money on something they wouldn't really appreciate. We wanted them to enjoy the beauty of our world so off we went on a little adventure.

Roo's Sandy Pit
a little shop where you could get "pooh" things and a map of the sites
They could have stayed here all day playing pooh sticks on Poohsticks Bridge.
Piglets house, obviously someone just created that but it was cute.
beautiful England
