dandelion cookies and classic cars!

The sun was shining on us this morning and feeling enthusiastic and full of the joys of spring we decided to go out and pick dandelions. Flicking through my favourite blogs last night i was inspired to try a few forraging things and round a recipe of dandelion cookies. Emily loves picking daisies and dandelions so this was right up her street and in the sunshine we all enjoyed a little walk.
and here is the end result. they are quite tasty! i am also going to try and make elderflowerchampagne soon!
After our picking session we took a walk to a classic car show and enjoyed the sun as we went. I tried to get Emily to notice some of the spring blossom along the way.
A beautiful tall tree along the way.
A classic car!!
A bite to eat before the rain set in.
And on return we were swimming in our imaginary paddling pool with the balloon that the man gave her (it was a hat but this is a better use... very imaginative i thought!)
