Its good to see the kids outside in the fresh air enjoying themselves, what do you plan to do with the hazel that you have cut?
Cheers for the pictures it looks a nice place.

Great to see the boys in the woods instead of in front of the games console. My son was out on the banks fishing with me as a youngster, and now my grand-sons will be.

There's an abundance of what I think is wild garlic growing on my local river (Tees) bank, I just never had the confidence to positively ID and harvest it, thanks to your first pic I may poison myself confidently now :rolleyes: ....................

.................................................. .Or gather some, post a pic and get the all clear from yourself??

For me it's amazing to see spring that advanced in February....thats late May here...if I am lucky. We still have 2-3 months of snow on the ground :-)
And as always good to see families out in the woods. Well done, Fish family :-)

Fantastic stuff Fish!
It's a great feeling getting the kids out and seeing them enjoying the outdoors isn't it.
