Oh Pooh!!!!

Yesterday started as a lovely day out with a friend in the Ashdown Forest, home of Winnie the Pooh. We started at Pooh Corner - the gift shop devoted to all things Pooh.
We had a lovely cup of coffee in Piglit's Cafe.

Yummy pub lunch which ended with pecan pie and ice cream.

Then it was off to find the Poohsticks Bridge!
A short walk took us here ...

... and we played Poohsticks and I lost twice!!!!
We then headed off to find the Enchanted Place and the North Pole. However disaster struck!! I tripped over and to cut a long story, I avoided concussion, but a trip to casualty this morning confirmed a fractured elbow!!!!! It's very painful at the moment and I'm in a sling for about six weeks!!! So crafting is going to be out of the window for the moment.
Now for those of you who know their Pooh - I blame the woozles!!!!

Oh dear!! This is what happens when you go into the woods with woozles about (were there any heffalumps?) Sorry to hear your elbow is fractured, you were being so creative at the moment too!! It'll be fun telling the children at school what happened ;o). Hope you're managing alright and that the pain is under control.

Are you sure its not the heffalumps?? Mum said you shouldn't have thrown the pooh sticks so hard, maybe eeyore got his own back???
Get better soon and take it easy, at least you got in the nice pub lunch and gift shop looks fab.

As wise old owl says - you need to be careful when you go down to 100 Acre Wood - no bouncing like Tigger for you for a while then!
