Escape to the forest

This week's escape was to Dalby Forest. For cycling, exploring, barbecue, stream paddling. Except we discovered you can't barbecue. And she fell off her bike. Twice. Once into nettles. Second time in quite a spectacular fashion that involved twisted knees, bruised shoulder and scrapes. She rallied though and we explored, playing pooh sticks with fir cones, picking and scoffing wild raspberries and climbing logs. She was very excited for stream time. Only the main bit of the stream was closed off in their COVID measures. But we had a lovely picnic and some time playing Frisbee. She even decided the single climbing frame left open was empty enough to go play. We drove home as the sun began to set. It wasn't quite the trip hoped for but it was lovely.
