BROWNSEA ISLAND

Once Emmie saw we had to go on a yellow (her favourite colour) ferry to Brownsea Island we had no choice but to go (we were anyway!).

 

Of course, the highlight of our visit to Brownsea Island was watching the Red Squirrels in the woods as they collected and stored nuts for winter.  They came very close.  Emmie had a fabulous time looking for squirrels (of which we saw several), avoiding the  peacocks and finding the sweet chestnuts the squirrels hadn't found.  She also enjoyed spotting the old chicken running around.

 

 

 

 

We took our own lunch and had a picnic at one of the many beautiful viewpoints.

 

 

We had to drag Emmie away from the visitor centre and all the activities there.

 

 

 

 

Emmie loved it all.  Nature, peace and quiet.  A good walk, great views and a yellow boat to get  there.
