Spring Equinox 2025

Spring Equinox - Thursday 20th March 2025

We started our day with our Spring Adventure Gang box which gave Bear his new t-shirt and some activities for us to do over the coming days.

As per our tradition now, me and the boys headed out to spend time in nature for the Equinox. The besties didn't take any persuading, and we decided to check out one of The Wildlife Trust properties as we recently joined up! Dearne Valley Country Park was our playground for the day and we had a blast!

Me and the boys made it there first and spent some time in the glorious spring sunshine checking out the playground and skate park. Then we went for a walk to find the perfect picnic spot, which happened to be a stone circle with so many imagination prompts! The kids loved them and it was a beautiful space to relax in.

After the picnic, we went on our spring scavenger hunt looking for signs of spring in nature. We looked for spring flowers and minibeasts that are waking up again. The kids went 'fishing' in the lake and we spent the better part of an hour in the woods where they found a den, climbed some trees, played on a rope swing and then made a second one both spare rope we found near the tree. A good time was definitely had all around I believe!

After a walk around the lake, we packed up and headed to Audrey's Tea Rooms for well-deserved cake and hot chocolate before we drove home again.

Spring stories for bedtime finished off an amazing day and both boys went out like a light for a good night's sleep.

What did you do for the equinox?

Did you get outside?

I'd love to hear about your adventures!
