To Mum, nearly everything was an adventure.  We'd wake up in the morning to her whispering excitedly; "Would you like to go to Sherwood Forest today?"

Then she'd tell us of Robin Hood and his Merry Band of Thieves while packing a lunch.  Once outside, we'd pick walking sticks (they double as swords you know), and head off into the woods for our adventure.  

Warm days, you know,

bring crocuses.

But we had snow

and crocuswas!
