Lazy day by the river

Spontaneous trip to Coltishall Mill today. Grandad Bee mentioned he was going off for a spot of fishing so we asked if we could tag along! Really lovely and relaxing down there. Packed up a picnic which we enjoyed while lapping up the scenery.

we found a mummy duck and two ducklings, plus two swans which we fed with bread that I managed to scrounge from the local shop on the way there. We also saw a huge Heron, a Jay and some beautiful yellow birds which we've yet to identify. Grandad Bee caught several Roach, and Chub fish. Both Bees loved seeing the fish and birds. Little bee after a time asked for a nap so I popped him in the pushchair and he dropped straight off to sleep. Meanwhile me and big bee went off collecting leaves/feathers etc for a picture big bee had in her mind of creating when we got home. Really love spontaneous days like that, the best sort! So much learnt today without even trying. :-) 

Oh and we also observed the fire and rescue services doing some training in the water. Really interesting to watch, sparked off many conversations about our Emergancy services.

Beautiful scenery, will definitely be going again soon.
