I've been a bit quiet this last couple of days as I've been off on a camping trip over the weekend. We stayed down in Dorset as we wanted to visit Brownsea island, autumn is a great time of year to see the red squirrels.
I can't believe how messy we managed to make the tent after only a few short hours!

We were fortunate with the weather and had perfect conditions for the short ferry ride to the island from Poole Quay.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVCb9wrivPfKTw2LNCucUXrAzSvENHsMgRPPHWze8UbIMuQ_aa41c4IT-YtB_L92rQXic4gBoBsF0fCftxKeGU3VS8_m6JGSRNw_KPDEADlZbP_RZ0vRlO35lD3nuAeKYk6tEP/s320/ticket+booth.jpg)

We were on the first ferry so plenty of time for us to stroll amongst the woodland on the island squirrel spotting. There were a few round to see but they were very skittish so no chance of me getting a snap on my little camera.
We have been to the island quite a few times before but have never ventured into the Dorset Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve before, I for one thoroughly enjoyed spending a few hours in the purpose built hides watching the birds and other wildlife.

No time for stitching as I was too busy enjoying the sunshine. I think posts from me will be few and far between as we are off on vacation for a week from next weekend and as I'm working all week I think my evenings will be mostly taken with making sure everything gets packed and planned for, but I will try and get in a few before we leave next Saturday.

That brought back some memories-haven't been to Brownsea Island since I was about 14/15. Fantastic place
