How can you live in Essex for sooooo long and live on the doorstep of some wonderful places without even knowing it. Today's adventures with the boys took us to Weald Park just north of Brentwood and I have to say there is some stunning scenery there. Once we were parked up we were greeted by a heard of fallow deer. Check out these beauties.........
After the deer we found a large lake which was absolutely full of ducks and swans. Unfortunately we came unprepared with no bread for the birds, but some kind lady had two loafs and gave Joshua about 4 slices to feed the ducks.
The fields were a very dangerous place to be. We soon discovered that lurking in the long grass was some very very dangerous wild monsters. Check out this picture and you can just about make one of them out in the middle.
I tried to get a bit closer to the monster to get a photo and you can imagine my shock when this jumped out at me!!!!
In all seriousness Joshua loved running and diving in the grass. He was shouting "ready, steady, go" and then running up and doing superman dives into the grass! Anyway after battling the monster we then found another bridge which took us out to a bird lodge overlooking the lake. Josh crossed the bridge first just in case there were any trolls!
Once safely across the bridge we entered into the lodge and went bird spotting.
The adventure then took us over a nice little bridge to some fields the other side of the lake.
The end of another adventure. We only covered about a 10th of the Park so be sure we will be heading back as there is a fort, some ponds and the Belvedere Church which we want to check out next time.
