Second time an accident had closed the road – this time a
motorbike - and so the gang struggled to actually get into Rais. But finally after 90 mins of hanging around the entrance they drove in and were rewarded with the sight of 3 deer in the meadow - one of them pure black or Melanistic as I later learned - never seen that before.
We cut another storm damaged tree down and had mammoth picnic whilst the kids explored the wood for the first time.
We used the chopped tree to make a temporary "Log Bog" (big hole and sofa-like support seating) before sausages sandwiches and excited chat. Roll on the summer!
