The boys have been out and about recently finding and making dens. They really wanted to show me their latest and best one ... but only if I I was to swear not to tell a soul where it is. It is their Secret Den and they would have to do horrible things to me if I told anyone where to find it! I agreed, although I did draw the line at being blindfolded to get there!
Off we set.
Sticks .... I mean swords and daggers were needed to protect us from brigands and vagabonds:
There was walking through streams so we left no scent for our enemies to follow!
Wild dogs were met en route ... oh no hang on, that's Poppy and Saari and they are on our side!
And then we were there - Tom and Ben's Secret Den. It even has a fire pit and there is more which I can't show you for fear of revealing it's location.
Tom - Lord of all he can see from their Secret Den.
The great beech tree that guards over their Den.
And Saari, taking her guard dog role very seriously.
It's a great Secret Den, one the boys can be proud of and one that is giving them a lot of enjoyment. Do you have memories of a favourite childhood den or do your children have one now? Please do let us know in a comment. Or click on the Country Kids link below to find out what other children are doing out and about this week.
