Seventy five hectares of common is far more ground than a family session needs, and the useful part of that is choice near the edge rather than a long march into the middle. Grassland has no made surface across most of it, so a pram crosses grass, and grass after rain is what turns an afternoon out into an expedition. We pick a spot close to wherever you have parked and work in a circle around it: everyone together first, because that frame is the reason for the day, then the smaller groups, and the youngest alone at the end if there is anything left in them. Grandparents do better on that plan too, since tussocky ground is tiring underfoot and standing about waiting on it is harder than walking on it. The Chorleywood House Estate grounds are the alternative when the common is too wet or too exposed, with firmer going and more shelter. Small children give their best in the first twenty minutes and it falls away steeply after that, so nothing that matters is left until late. Winter is the point at which the Northwood room earns its keep. Grassland in December is either frozen or waterlogged, the light goes early, and a toddler wrapped up against the cold is a photograph of a coat. Indoors the light never changes, nobody is cold, and the session follows the child's mood instead of the sky. From March the common gives back what a room cannot: distance to run into, and pictures in which nobody has been arranged.
