Biblins Bridge Adventure

Biblins Bridge

We decided we were going to go on a Billy Goat Gruff adventure and found the perfect spot to do so.

Biblins Bridge, nestled along the river Wye, is pretty spectacular and is home to an elusive Mr Gruff whom is said to sleep so soundly you can get away with grossing the bridge without awakening him… he slept soundly as we crossed.

We started our walk from the campsite that sits next to the bridge. We initially parked at the top of the hill but decided to head down the track in the car to check out the Forestry Commission campsite. (It looks fab and we’ve decided to revisit to camp another time.)

Biblin Bridge Postcode: HR9 6DX

The Forest of Dean is always beautiful but today it had a lushness of summer even in the rain…

Whilst we were their we foraged for wild garlic which we took home and made some AWESOMELY EASY KID MADE GARLIC BREAD.

We walked along the river, watched canoes pass, threw stones in the water, climbed trees and found a fab place for ice cream at the end of the path in Symonds Yat… 1.5 miles down the track which was suitable for bikes and buggies.

Here’s how it looked…

At the end of the track there was a pub, tea shops, kayak hire and boat ride. You could even cross the river on a small hand pulled ferry.

It really was fabulous and we’ll be returning to camp and maybe laze on a boat and float down the river on a hazy lazy summers day…

This walk was recommend in OFFICIAL FAMILY DAYS LOCAL FORUM – Finding hidden gems in South Wales and the surrounding areas.

He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

It was really easy to do and highly effective, he was very proud of himself 🥰👏

☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling i ☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling is looking! It’s been a long process insulating between the beams and putting up lining papering and cleaning down and waxing the beams but our hard work is starting to pay off and it’s looking beautiful. So many people advised us to cover the beams up as an easy measure but for us that was never going to happen, keeping the church as original as possible is our highest priority, it’s a stunning building, why change that? 
Our next job is to give the walls another coat of paint around the memorials we restored and hang the chandeliers central to the arches...then maybe we can think about building the kitchen 🙂

🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re thr 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re throwing a ‘lockdown heroes’ treat night for the children as a reminder to them of how proud we are of them holding it together during the lock down. 
I made some printouts to set the scene and we’ll have treats and watch a superhero movie. 
This pandemic is so hard on everyone and it’s so easy to overlook how well the children are cracking on throughout, they are so resilient when it comes to change but it’s such an incredibly emotional and unknown time for their little minds. 

So this little treat night is a reminder to them that they too are hero’s in their own right and that we’re proud of the part they play too 💖
