As the days start to get noticeably longer, the first signs of Spring are starting to appear around the Nene Valley. Bulbs are starting to pop up, the snowdrops are out and catkins wave merrily on branches. So there is some respite from the chilly weather at the moment, although we are promised another cold snap next week!
We decided it would be a nice day to pay a visit to Stanwick Lakes to let our 3 year old let off a bit of steam as she had been in quarantine for several days due to chicken pox and had a bit too much excess energy! Arwen had a go in the kids adventure playground, some parts were still under a bit of water, notably the end of the slide which had turned into a log flume! We then did a bit of bird spotting - this is not very easy with a small child as they sound like a herd of elephants. So we made do with identifying birds on the board instead.
After a walk around the lakes and a game of hide and seek
We made our way back to the visitor centre for a spot of lunch
If you are boating on the River, you can access Stanwick Lakes by footpath from near Upper Ringstead Lock
