Sherwood Forest

Yesterday i got to spend the entire day with my gran. We only have five more days before she heads off back home to South Africa and i really wanted to share some quality time with her. So yesterday morning i was up early and heading over to my parents house to pick her up. We decided to go to Sherwood Forest - a first for both of us.
We couldn't have picked a nicer day to go. The sky was so blue and the wind was hardly blowing. We walked along the paths and came across this flying witch.

We got to walk along chatting and catching up
We sat down, shared some things that are going on in our lives at the moment
We saw some amazing things and walked along in silence simply enjoying each others company.
We got a little lost and ended up having to go through some gates to find our way back to the pathwayWe stumbled upon the Major Oak which is said to be where Robin Hood hid from his enemies inside the hollow of the Major Oak. Just a few hundred yards from the forest is the little church where legend has it that Robin Hood and Maid Marrion got married.
All in all we had a really nice day. We walked around for two and a half hours. Sat down and had some lovely lunch in a near by cafe. We made some new memories, shared some old ones and had a few very good laughs. It was such a lovely day - thank you granny for make it so special. All these photos and the stories to go along with it will be on a scrap page soon.
