As in most of the UK, we have been having a run of beautiful Spring days here in the Lakes and the daffodils are in full flower. The combination of the weather and schools' Easter break has meant that we've had lots of families with children visiting. So, we have been busy organising a day of activities for families.
On days like these we have to make an early start setting out things and this year we had a misty start. Once the sun was up, the mist burned off and it was a bright sunny day that was also very warm in sheltered places.
Those who joined in had the opportunity to do a trail starting at the National Trust shop by Derwentwater. This took them through Cockshot Wood which had some unexpected things to discover. If you haven't walked through the wood before, it really is worth doing especially with children. There are lots of surprises for them to enjoy.

On completing the trail, there were the traditional chocolate eggs of course.
It turned out to be too busy a day to take lots of photographs but I'll add more if anyone else managed to take some.

I wasn't at the Easter event. I don't know why. I know chocolate eggs are bad for dogs and I don't think I would have eaten any.
