Billy and George visited Little Havens Respite 11-14th January.  They went to the woods and observed and listened to everything on their journey.  They listed all the adjectives (describing words) they could think of to describe their experience.   They came back with this lovely story to share!

 

Our Journey Through The Woods

 

It is a FROSTY, FREEZING Friday and we are going to the woods.  We put on our WARM  and COSY jackets and go through the WIDE RED door.  We set out along the ORANGE BRICK path.  Next we go through a GREEN WOODEN gate, then onto a NARROW PAVEMENT path. Lots of PRICKLEY bushes scratched us.  Ouch!  Round the TRICKY, SWINGING gate we went and off into the woods.

 

The track is BUMPY and STONEY.  Beneath us are CRUNCHY leaves and STICKY mud.  Above, the trees are BARE.  Ahead of us looked SLOPEY AND SLIPPERY.  Stop!  Listen to the HIGH-PITCHED tweeting of the birds.  There are piles of CHOPPED wood all around.  GRASSY banks and fields surround us, but we still get stuck in the SQUIDGEY mud!  Oh no!  We can’t get through the SQUELCHY mud, back we go.  Treading on a BIG, DRY twig, a CRACKING, SNAPPING sound fills the air.  Close by, a SPOOKED dog ran past.  We’re nearly back…

 

Oh look! A LITTLE, FLUFFY, GREY squirrel with a BUSHY tail bounced off the fence, and into the trees it went to eat a JUICY berry.  At last we return, and our fingers are BLUE  and NUMB from the COLD air.  Our final obstacle is a pile of BROWN, RED and ORANGE DRY leaves being raked by a SNIFFING gardener!  What a relief to be home!  Time to warm up our STINGING fingers and clean our DIRTY wheels.
