Sherwood Forest: The International Day

Sherwood Forest: The International Day of Forests. Hello friends, happy Monday. So how are you today?

As today is The International Day of Forests, I thought I would share a post that is all about Sherwood Forest.

It is such a beautiful forest with lots of fun things to see and do here.

The best of all, it is just on our doorstep. We are so lucky to live so close to Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. I can not wait to take Murphy The Goldendoodle on some walks around here in the summer.

Sherwood Forest: The International Day of Forests

On the International Day of Forests, Sherwood Forest steps into the spotlight, proving that it’s not just a place for merry men in tights and archery enthusiasts with green hats.

Today, Sherwood Forest proudly declares itself the place of all things leafy and woodsy.

Robin Hood might have been busy robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but even he would pause to appreciate the intricate dance of squirrels doing the cha-cha and the majestic rustling of leaves.

So, raise your quivers, put on your best green attire, and join the forest fiesta.

It’s the only day of the year when even the trees take a break from their routine to throw some shade – literally.

Happy International Day of Forests, where Sherwood reigns supreme, and the only arrows you need are the ones pointing you towards a whimsical woodland adventure!

Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what the other one has to say
Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

Sherwood Forest: Robin Hood And Little John. Have you ever visited Sherwood Forest Before? So here are a few more photos that were taken over the years:

How well does it make you feel getting out in the fresh air? We love to visit the forests, whenever possible. Great for your mental health too. I am looking forward to spring and getting out more. Are you too?

What I Wore: Dress: Primark | Shoes: Converse | Handbag: Primark (you might also like These Micky Mouse Bags).

Sherwood Forest: The International Day of Forests. So now I am off to plan my own little forest in the garden. I want to plant lots of trees this summer.

Also, I just need to work out what to buy. As I am obsessed with bamboo so I might just plant loads around my garden.

Why don’t you celebrated The International Day of Forests by planting a tree too? Talking of planting a tree, you might like this post:

The Day We Went To Visit A Tree Because We Planned It! We have been having so much fun over the holidays and one day we went to visit a tree!!

Not just any tree though, a tree we helped to plant. A few years ago I was asked to come along with my daughter’s class at school to plant a few trees.

This tree is one my daughter and a few of her school friends planted. The Day We Went To Visit A Tree Because We Planned It!

Hello friends. Happy Sunday. How cool is this bench in Sherwood Forest? 

I adore this photo that I took deep in the woods. Something sets my mind off into a fairy tail of stories when I see this picture. It was so peaceful around here. Underneath the trees and sitting amongst the shadows and the fallen Autumn leaves.

Thirdly, A Walk In Sherwood Forest: Fashion For Women Over 40.

The sun shone brightly, and the air was crisp with an Autumn chill. Then it’s the perfect opportunity to wear my new Sainsbury’s jeans and Poncho!

On wonderful Autumn days, there’s something unique about going through the woods. Clear skies, fresh air, and kicking fallen leaves are all things that come to mind when I think of autumn.

With the kids running around cheerfully and the dog behaving herself. Perfect! We spent a terrific weekend here and did a lot of exploration.

A Walk Around Land Of Robin Hood:

Fourthly, A Walk Around Sherwood Forest: Land Of Robin Hood.

It was such a lovely day yesterday. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and doesn’t it make you feel better that it’s becoming warmer?

I’ve been sick all week with a terrible cough, possibly brought on by the return of cold weather. Today I’m going to show you some images from ‘A Walk Around Sherwood Forest.’

These pictures were taken before the snow started to fall. We enjoyed a beautiful family trip through Nottinghamshire’s Sherwood Forest.

Anyone up for a selfie with The Major Oak?

So that’s me! Bless him, he’s getting old! Do you have any experience with Sherwood Forest? A fantastic area to visit for a day in the woods. A Walk Around Sherwood Forest: Land Of Robin Hood.

Fifth, Alice In Wonderland Moment In Sherwood Forest.

In Sherwood Forest, an Alice in Wonderland moment. Greetings, friends! Have a fantastic Wednesday!

Welcome back to today’s Wednesday blog hop, which is either wordless or not so wordless. So, what have you been photographing this week? We’d love for you to send us your photos today.

Me, I’ve been photographing a downed tree!! What a blast! What a fantastic tree! Sherwood Forest provided the backdrop for this tree photograph.

There were a lot of these tiny houses in this place. They’re adorable. For my garden, I’d like to construct something similar. The idea of a fairy land comes to mind. I’m experiencing an Alice in Wonderland moment right now!!

I need to locate the ‘Drink Me’ bottle that will fit inside. Alice In Wonderland Moment In Sherwood Forest. So much fun.

Sherwood Forest: Country Kids And Getting Outdoors:

Sixth, Sherwood Forest: Country Kids And Getting Outdoors. 

We had a jam-packed week because the kids and even hubby were on half-term break from school and work.

Even when the weather was bad, we were kept busy. We attempted to make the most of Monday, which was the best day of the week. We travelled to Sherwood Forest in Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire, on Monday.

The weather was perfect for the season, and the sun shone brightly. Not like the remainder of the week, which was boring and rainy, as previously said.

We wanted to go somewhere that we could spend a few hours and that was also puppy-friendly. Also, we needed a place where we could exhaust the puppy as well as the kids. We had a feeling this would be the best day of our week. Sherwood Forest: Country Kids And Getting Outdoors. So much fun.

    Sherwood Forest looks like a wonder place to visit. I bet you could almost feel the spirits of Robin Hood and his band of men.

    What a cool place to visit! We love woods and trees and typically plan our spring break hiking. My boys would love to plant trees but no space for that in our yard. We will stick to flowers.

      Thanks lovely. Can’t beat getting out on a good walk, can you.

    Great shots! I somehow pictured Sherwood Forest as being dark and gloomy. Not so, obviously!

    Thanks for sharing

    I wish I was able to bring my family here because I know we would all enjoy walking around and being in a Forest for once because we don’t have them were we live.
